Unfortunately, I can't answer your question. I'm not sure if the eInk part of the Pocket Edge is able to read arabic books, I would assume no. For the lcd part, maybe there are some android reader apps you can download that are able. Maybe it's best to ask in the appropriate forum.

To a moderator: could you please move this thread to the Entourage Edge forum? Thank you very much!

Remember, try a search 1st... someone may have already asked the same question.

Good luck and welcome, kah89.

Thank you Filark it's great to know that but i had to ask a question if the pdf was static images can i make zoom in n out ?

thnx billi i wanna know about the zoom in function ?

If you make a PDF by scanning pages then it is a static image, BUT if you make a PDF using something like Libre Office and its create PDF option then it is not static and the text will reflow to fit your zoom and page size.

With an ePub it will depend if the ePub has the necessary fonts embedded or the reader is capable of using external fonts - of course, assuming the required font is available.

it won't be a problem i could convert any pdf i want to static images pdf but i need to know about the zoom in function will it be supported with static images ?
