trouble with right to left texts

delfy · 09-07-2021, 01:28 AM

Hi, I've been trying to webpages via chrome/firefox for reading them offline. The webpages are in Hebrew. Once I get files transfered to Kindle via Calibre the words are displayed left to right. Have been searching on forum and web and trying various solutions but nothing yet fixed the issue Please help!

enclosed are epub and screenshot of ebook on kindle
thank you and have a nice day!

edit: forgot to mention that in calibre the ebooks get displayed just fine, and only on device itself the book looks in reverse. that's why I posted to the kindle forum.

Your EPUB appears to lack any HTML coding for RTL text direction.

I've tried adding RTL direction code to both html and CSS but it did not help.

Make sure that you are using AZW3 (KF8) format. Kindles do not support RTL text in MOBI format.
