But at original release Kindles did not, even though the OS did. It took YEARS for Amazon to add support that was there from the beginning in the OS.

You can't assume someone has a Kindle that displays Cyrillic, Chinese, Korean, Hebrew, Arabic etc. Plenty of older Kindles and other old ereaders are still in use.

The entire Gadget / Computer field was USA Centric for decades. I have a not very old Android that only has USA physical keyboard layout support unless you install a 3rd party App. Totally unacceptable US centric behaviour by Google, who bought in Android.

By the late 1990s DOS, Windows (DOS and NT kinds), Mac OS, BSD, Linux all had proper multilingual display and keyboard support.

Kindle, Kobo, Android etc slow adoption of non-latin support etc was crazy!

Don't let me get started on ICANN either.
