Thanks again for your answers

Now, I'm a bit skeptical about the iLiad and this isn't just because of the high price (I might as well get myself two EEE PCs for that price). I've read a couple of reviews and while most of them were quite positive, at least one user seriously complained about how the company handled guarantee issues (which they, frankly, didn't) when the display of his reader broke (they offered him a repair at a cost of 275€ - that's over 390$ - and refused to treat the incident as a guarantee issue). I don't really know whether I want to pay large sums of money for a product that, besides other issues like battery runtime, gets next to no support from the company ...

Well, enough polemic for now

I have uploaded a couple of documents with japanese fonts and I'd be glad if some of you guys would take a look whether they work in your ebook readers

Again, many thanks in advance

This is an essay I wrote about the massacre of Nanjing by the japanese imperial army during WW2. There is a table with japanese characters on the second last page - I'd be glad if you could check how they come out in your reader and if you could have a look at how the footnotes in the text are being displayed.

This is an all-japanese text about a japanese monster called the "nobiagari". The text displays hiragana as well as kanji and in different font sizes. I'd be glad if you could check whether the file works in your readers.

The same text as the PDF above, but in MS DOC file format. The font file for the kanji is called "MS Mincho" and should be installed in all Vista and most XP systems.

Thanks again for your kind answers and the help you're offering

I really appreciate it!
