Just to report further.

Before ordering Nook, I'm aware that it will not display Thai properly for epub and pdb formatted ebook; but I still had hope on PDF file. I found displaying PDF English document is quite acceptable and readable when set font size to medium to Large. Some PDF documents with more graphic seem very slow when opening and sometimes freeze when changing page; but for less-graphic PDF, it works very well.

When opening Thai PDF ebook, it can show Thai alphabets and vowels which are in the same level of the alphabets correctly; but the upper/lower vowels are all missing. Hope when there are more Thai owners, somebody will do some hack to make Nook display Thai correctly.
