The Chinese epub books I downloaded from gutenberg.org showed only the
title in Chinese on the e-ink screen. Their Chinese contents were displayed as "????".

This seems to be an Adobe reader problem, appearing also on my PC,
while Mobipocket reader is able to display the same Chinese epub book.
I hope enTourage will find a solution to this problem soon, and/or
allow 3rd party Android applications to display content on the e-ink screen.

Thanks.
From the knowledge base:

Some PDF files have the fonts embedded in them, and in this case all languages are supported. For PDFs and ePUBs where the enTourage eDGe has to provide the fonts, the following languages are supported:

Brazilian Portuguese
Chinese Simplified
Chinese Traditional
Dutch
English
French
German
Italian
Japanese
Korean
Portuguese
Spanish
More languages will be added with software updates in the future.
