However, that's no longer the case. Current Kindle models come with free high-quality commercial dictionaries for more languages than any other E-Ink device.
Kindles also support RTL language KFX books, which the OP could generate with the free Calibre KFX output plugin.
Hebrew isn't officially supported by Amazon, but, AFAIK, Kindles and most Kindle apps render Hebrew text with diacritics fine. The same goes for polytonic Greek characters.
Amazon also offers 3 Japanese dictionaries as free downloads:
- Progressive English-Japanese Dictionary(プログレッシブ英和中辞典)
- Progressive Japanese-English Dictionary (プログレッシブ和英中辞典第３版)
- 大辞泉 (Daijisen Japanese Dictionary)
