Greek language compatibility

fares57 · 08-07-2009, 12:18 PM

Hello to everyone! This is a new member trying to be like you (that is, PRS-505 owner hehe).

I have this question... In case I buy a 505 from a site (still not affordable in Greece) will I be able to read greek books; If yes which of the formats are compatible; PDF, TXT etx...

Probably PDF is compatible in any language around the world right;

Thank you so much and I am waiting your responses!!!

The best format is ePub. With ePub, you can easily embed a Greek font for use with Greek eBooks.

ePub ?? As a new one in the field, this sounds unknokn to me. I ll go and check what this is but tell me, is it possible and easy to convert pdfs in this ePub form??

Thank you very much for your quick response!!

See this thread, where HarryT uploaded some Homer in Ionic Greek:

Book Designer will allow Greek characters to display on the Sony LRF format with no real difficulty.

Not back and I want something easier (new greek with only one type of accent) so that must be pretty simple. I ll download book designer also.

BTW, I have the eeepc 4g also. Its great :-)
