Kobo Wifi - Hangul / Korean Support?

chingu · 08-26-2011, 03:20 PM

Hello all,

Maybe my search-fu skills are not so good, but I couldn't find the answer on Google.

I'm going to buy a refurbished Kobo Wifi E-reader from bestbuy, but before I do I want to know if it supports viewing hangul? (Not the touch version of Kobo).

Many of the documents with hangul are pdf's, like from koreanclass101.com or talktomeinkorean.com ( I think there might be problems with resizing) but some may not be pdf, say, .txt or something if I save Korean song lyrics or something I want to study.

Anyone read Korean on their Kobo?

Kobo Wifi with slow and clumsy PDF interface is not practical. Kobo Touch is much better.

Small 6inch screen zoomed into see detail just isn't good enough for a pdf that must be seen full page on larger screen.
