<DIV><EM>The Kindle Store offers primarily English-language books (and U.S. and intl newspaper and magazine-priced in $U.S.). You can view other <STRONG>Western Language books </STRONG>on your Kindle. The Text-to-Speech feature reads your book, blog/magazine/newspaper out loud in English. So it will try to read non-English words in English. We carry a limited number of non-English titles in the Kindle store and work on expanding our selection daily. </EM></DIV>
<DIV><EM></EM> </DIV>
<DIV><EM>[<STRONG>currently supported character sets</STRONG>] Kindle can display non-English content that uses the ISO 8859-1 character set (based on the Latin languages). Characters from this set not currently supported are spades, clubs, hearts; up-arrow, down-arrow, alpha, beta, and gamma. Kindle also supports Greek characters and monospace fonts.<BR></DIV></EM>
