Ahaaaa ...
NOW I understand your grumbling.
Arabic, Hebrew, Farsi and other Right-To-Left languages are very problematic for pretty much all e-ink readers. Perhaps an Android-based one (such as Sony T1) might work better if you manage to install special application.

PocketBook company does claim they support Arabic, they even sell their readers in Israel (and claim support for both Arabic and Hebrew).

There is thread about Hebrew support here on this forum. I guess most of what you learn there applies to the Arabic as well.

For now, your best bet is to convert to pdf. When converting set page size to physical page size of PocketBook (minus status line) for best results.
Again, there are two programs on PocketBook that can open pdf.
Sorry, I do not have better advice at the moment.
My own mother language, does have a few funny looking letters, but it is still close enough to English to have no problems with displaying text on PB.
