Sony PRS-505 supports Greek Text (PDF,LRF format)

I think that if you don't modify reader's software internals, you will find that page turning is very slow, especially if the book is long.

Hmm.. i have many large greek books in lrf format and page turning takes 1-2secs.... It is acceptable time...

But what do you mean by <<if you don't modify reader's software internals>> ?

You can replace the fonts built in to the machine, if you're brave enough.

Without <<modifing reader's software>> i can see 100% greek letters in lrf and pdf files.
I still have problems in PRS-505 menus with accented greek letters which are displayed as boxes!..
I know there is a number of messages concerning loading russian fonts but i can't open the IMG file which has the russian fonts, put greek fonts too and then try the upgrade!

Where can I download/buy electronic versions of books in Greek (ancient or modern) for the iliad or the kindle? Will format other than .pdf work for any of these readers, and if so how? I do not want to reprogram any of these readers.
Thank you.
