It won't support Chinese if you bought it outside of China. I've had to convert my chinese books to pdfs to read them.

You can go with custom firmware by porkupan (aka boroda) or by amutin, both include Pepaks epub CSS hack. If all you read is EPUBs, then a custom CSS file would suffice.

If you also want to read Chinese LRFs you can do the standard Chinese "mount --bind" trick (needs one of the firmwares mentioned above).
