Hello All, I am new to the forum. If something is amiss with my post please let me know.

I have the following problem. I currently have a kindle paperwhite 3. There are some webpages I have downloaded and want to generate an ebook out of. Those pages are in my native language, which is Sinhala. I tried converting the html to AZW3 using Calibre and embedded the font. But the kindle doesn't use the embedded font and shows some gibberish https://ibb.co/ZHDSzf5 while a correct display should be like so https://ibb.co/PGxzr2n

I am considering switching to a different ebook reader which will support embedded fonts (for example a reader that can handle epub). I also considered jailbreaking the kindle to find a solution but unfortunately my kindle firmware is not supported by the jailbreaks.

What I would like to know from you is, what ebook reader will support this font? I would prefer if it's on the more affordable side (for example Tolino Page 2) but all suggestions welcome.

The following is a link to the files as AZW3 and EPub, with embedded font, in case you can try them out and see if it works on the readers that you have. If it does, plesae share a picture with me.

Thanks in advance!
