As can be seen in the screenshots, Hindi (Devanagari script) is rendered correctly even in the older Kindle 3. I have gone over the screenshots minutely and cannot find any misplaced vowels (called matras in Hindi). Everything is rendered as it should be. The default font is not very pretty, but I'm sure that can be changed with a hack.

This is great news indeed because this means all the languages that use the Devanagari script like Sanskrit, Hindi, Marathi, Konkani, Nepali etc. can be rendered correctly on Kindles even though they are not officially supported.

When I buy my Kindle I'll do a similar survey for all the Indic languages also.
