What is really important is reading and dealing with Arabic font like English as in Kindle or others.
The Kobo devices do a good job of displaying Arabic. They don't come with an Arabic font, but one can be easily added. Or they can use embedded fonts, which is the case of the test book that Doitsu posted.

I have attached two screenshots from my Glo HD. "ArabicTest-epub.png" is treating the book as an epub and using the Adobe RMSDK based reader. "ArabicTest-kepub.png" is using the ACCESS based reader. This is used for books downloaded directly from the Kobo web site, but we can also sideload books in a way that will use it. This reader also handles epub 3.
