KOBO Aura H2O supports RTL (Arabic)?
Hello, all,

I need an e-ink reader to read RTL Arabic text. With some reading and research, I found out that the Kobo aura h2o supports the EPUB 3.0 format, which itself technically supports the RTL (Right-to-Left) Arabic text.

Anyone here who is using that Kobo has any experience reading such text successfully? I need some advice and confirmation before I buy. The Kobo technical support staff has no idea about it. And No brick store nearby sells such Kobo reader and thus I could not test before I buy.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Yes, the kepub reader supports Arabic and RTL text display if an appropriate font is loaded. There has been several threads discussing this and other related issues in the last few months. A search will find them.

Oops... I see you did answer that David. Sorry to look stupid.
