5.6.5. firmware eInk Kindles display RTL text correctly in AZW3 files and files generated by KindleGen/Kindle Previewer.
However, they still don't display AZW3 Kindle books with embedded RTL fonts correctly: Arabic glyphs are being displayed as isolated forms and both Arabic and Hebrew vowel signs are being displayed next to letter instead of above or below them.
The Kindle for iOS app generally displays embedded fonts in AZK books fine, but has problems with some Arabic glyphs. (iBooks has the same bug.)
IMHO, the Kindle for Android app displays the embedded Arabic glyphs best.
