I built a book for kindle with English as the primary language. There are Hebrew text words included in several locations. When I build with Kindle preview on my PC all looks good on my PC and I-Phone. However, when uploaded to Kindle and viewed on the Online viewer, the Hebrew text appears as boxes. Will end users have to install Hebrew fonts on their Apple devices? If so, which ones?

Also, you should be able to send such ebook files to Personal Documents service now, as it preserves KF8 formatting (something that was added recently). However I don't know if it will properly convert .doc/.rtf/.txt files in Hebrew (probably not). Send To Kindle browser extension doesn't, it seems. So you may need to learn how to create kf8 files (or use Kindle Previewer or kindlegen to convert epub files you may have).
And the pd conversion service will only create mobi7 which does not supprt rtl.
Consider creating kindle-sized PDF. It is WYSIWYG, easier to author. |
