Hi. A bit of confusion here: The SBLGNT is a Greek New Testament, not Arabic. Greek is not RTL. I am a newbie, but...

I'd prefer to have it in epub, but I am using the SBLGNT in PDF on the PRST1. I merged into one file using PDFSAM together with a glossary from another source. Added some fine tuning using OpenOffice and Calibre (both input and output pdf format) which seems to have improved the display. It is far from perfect... big and slow on the Sony PRST1 but it displays the fonts okay. It is irritating that the Sony software won't display the fonts correctly-even in their Windows reader software, though they are installed and work fine in other apps. (Adobe reader, Calibre, Openoffice, etc).

I have also made a tentative conversion of a Hebrew-English Bible that is available in HTML - it's also in PDF and it seems to display okay at first glance.
