Most are encoded in the older Win 1251 charset while about 1/3 of them use the current industry standard: Unicode (UTF-8). The trouble is JetBook does not support Unicode! You load a bunch of book in the reader only to see a screenful of garbage for many of them.

Does anyone know if the new firmware version adds Unicode support?
In the beta firmware, while a book is open - under Settings/Encoding is a UTF-8 option. So, the answer seems to be yes
