Thank you friends for your prompt replies. In fact, I had saved my blogs into *.pdf, *.html and *.txt files and had sent them to Kindle for conversion into Kindle format so that I can read them through kindle. This is the procedure Kindle adapts for the areas not covered by Kindle wireless service.

To my requests, I received the following reply from kindle support:

'Kindle uses display technology similar to that of a Web browser and supports the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 8859-1 character set, which is based on the Latin languages. The only characters from this set not currently supported are: spades, clubs, hearts, up-arrow, down-arrow, alpha, beta, and gamma. If you have digital content that you did not purchase from Amazon.com but would like to view on Kindle, you should be able to view it if the file is free of digital rights management software, uses characters from the ISO 8859-1 character set, and is in one of the supported file formats'

Since I am not a technocrat I need to be informed more about this. All I want to know now is whether Kindle support non english languages under UTF-8.

Common advice me. I have 7 days more to decide whether I should keep the kindle with me or return it.
