Hi,
I got this old Kobo Touch (N905) and it works perfectly except for reading my books in Japanese. All I get are blanck pages, with sometimes some numbers or english words...
I know the Kobo Touch can handle Japanese characters, I can select Japanese in the settings, or even in English, the titles appear in Japanese in the book list, or the status/info line at the bottom of the screen.
I tried with the latest firmware (4.28.18220) with no better result.
The Japanese book I try to read works on my Kobo app (on iPad), on the iBook app from iPad, and on Caliber.
I think it's because of vertical display of Japanese, ... any info on what to do to get it sorted ??

not supported on Kobo Touch

?
Thanks !!
