Thanks Kris777!

I'll look at it closely this evening, seems I can also convert presentations to PDF. Looks like lots of interesting information.

Good Luck! I think you can also read books in Greek in PDF format too

For example in Hebrew it looks this way:

Hadn't thought of Greek fonts, but that should work - very neat! I've shown the jetBook around here (Greece) to people and there is alot of interest - I wish the EU price was more competitive.
Thanks jgray, I appreciate all links. I'm going to work on this a bit this weekend.

Several folks have asked me about the "custom" version settings. The posting I found the info in is //http://www.ectaco.com/ectaco-posts/list/15773.page. There is also a document that is refernenced on the wiki to a Sony Document with formatting hints. These provide guidelines for getting "custom PDF" documents from FeedBooks and, I think, ManyBooks. When you pick a book to download from FeedBooks, they let you choose the ebook format. Set the page size by clicking on "Custom Settings". This is where you enter the page dimensions and font size for the Custom PDF book. After setting the page info, you go back to the download page. Choose Custom PDF here and the book will be downloaded to your PC. I have found PDF books formatted this way quite readable on my readers.

Does anybody know if Japanese is supported? It doesn't say it's supported on the Wiki but I don't think it said that hebrew was supported either so I thought I would just check.

If you convert text to PDF format you can read in any language.
