It might be possible to fix the titles by patching the firmware. Can you point to a free example book with an Arabic title that I could use for testing?

Edit: From what it looks like on my Glo, the Title is in Georgia/italic, Series in Avenir/normal, and Author in Georgia/normal. So maybe changing Title and Series to Georgia/normal will let it work in Arabic.

Russian users had a similar problem with the keyboard not supporting Cyrillic, and they were able to make a patch to add Cyrillic characters to the keyboard. It might be possible to do this for Arabic too, but it probably requires someone who knows both Arabic and how to create patches.
