Chinese in PRS-600 possible?

windylim · 09-15-2009, 12:21 AM

Hi, I just got my PRS-600 and pretty happy with it so far. I read mostly English books, but I do have a couple of Chinese books that I'm interested to read on the PRS-600. However, by default, Chinese is not supported.

Does anyone know if it's possible to somehow make PRS-600 recognize or display Chinese ebooks?

Thanks!

You can transform the ebook files to PDF. A PDF file contain the font information inside. So these files needn't Non-English font support from the Portable Reader.

along the lines of:

"you can transform them to jpg and view them just fine without any fonts"

No, you embed the Chinese font into the PDF file.
