Ah, no Sonys do not read right-to-left epubs. Sorry for my ignorance.

Pocketbook may well work. I have an old PB360 which was able to display a sample Hebrew epub RTL.

My experience of Pocketbook (as a company) was not totally positive, though. I found their firmware bug fix strategy to be quite poor. They have a habit of releasing models with problematic firmware and abandoning old models completely once their new ones come out, even if there are still bugs. Nevertheless if you can find a model which does what you want they are easy to customise even with little tech knowledge (they're even more customisable if you are a bit tech savvy). Adding custom fonts is very easy with FBReader, which is one of its 2 standard reading apps.
