I have the Sony PRS-505. I make my own Classical Greek files by cutting and pasting text from Musaios (or from the internet on Perseus project or some other, similar site) into word, increasing the font and decreasing the margins, then converting them into PDF using a free PDF creator program. I have had no problem with fonts not being properly displayed. I haven't tried displaying any Chinese text. What type of files do you have? If you like, you can send me a trial file in Chinese and I can try to load it onto my reader to see how the text is displayed.

If you are interested in the Sony PRS-505, I believe that you could probably find one for between 200 and 250 USD if you live in the United States, target seems to have them on clearance.

Sorry, I just realised that you are looking for something with a search function, which you don't have with the 505, the only Sony models with a search function are the 600, 700 and the upcoming 900 models.
