I.e., if you're a typophile or you're mainly reading Arabic books with lots of diacritics in them, you might want to consider a different model, because all current models with a 5.6.x firmware (Basic Kindle, PW2 and Voyage) can't be jailbroken and you can't embed Arabic fonts in AZW3 files.
However, if you find a cheap refurbished PW1 (or a PW2 with a 5.4.x firmware) online, you could jailbreak it and install a code2000 override font, e.g. Arial.

Doitsu,
After jail-break and font-hack a Kindle 4NT and converting your *epub3.epub file into kf8 with KindleGen, I got the following screen shot as attachment.
It seems the RTL part is working correctly, and from my programming experience, I know those numbers in little squares are the Unicode (UTF-16) code of those Arabic letters. I replaced the code2000.ttf with an Arabic font. But I do not know how this weird problem comes out.
