What brand has good Chinese support?
I need an eink device for reading Chinese ebooks. My Hanvon stopped working. It was made in China, and targeted the Chinese market, so Chinese support was perfect and had great Chinese fonts. I cannot find any sellers in the USA selling this brand. Is there a brand available in the USA that can read Chinese ebooks? Are Hanvon ereaders available somehow in the USA?

If you don't mind converting your epubs to azw3 books, a used Kindle might be a good alternative. On recent Kindle models (5th generation Kindle Paperwhite AKA PW1 or better) the user interface language can be changed to Chinese. It also seems to come with some kind of Chinese keyboard with predictive text support. Registered Kindle owners can also download a couple of Chinese dictionaries for free.

I don't speak Chinese, but IIRC, the GUI and the IME is in Simplified Chinese. (I attached a couple of screenshots from my Kindle PW2 as a reference.)

As far as I know, many Chinese users take kindle as their main e-readers.
