* emphasis is mine.
Non-Latin characters should be supported with embedded fonts in the "Topaz" format. I don't know whether the free transformation that Amazon offers would produce a Topaz formatted document or not. As far as I know, Amazon has not made its Topaz-creation software available to the general public. Certainly some of the books that Amazon is distributing are in that format since people have been complaining about slow rendering of the screen.
