All Apple devices with the application iBOOKS, but pages are turned backwards as in English.<br />2. All Android devices will read Hebrew well with the Moon + ReaderAH or application "Overdrive Media Console" (the options to choose from are very big but not ink readers)<br />3. There is a device in Israel called "eVrit ע-ברית" its ink-<br />e reader<br />4. PocketBook e-Reader a Korean company <br />5. PAGEone from NextPapyrus<br /><br />I think I will go for iPAD or an Android device.<br />I hope this list will help others too.<br />JDיעקב ד.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05637147048308437060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7143395511928869444.post-76280814764996127102012-04-25T09:34:41.765-06:002012-04-25T09:34:41.765-06:00Wowa: To be honest, I don't use the Ankidroid ...Wowa: To be honest, I don't use the Ankidroid app enough myself to know whether or not one can type the answers. If I recall, you can, but I turned it off because I didn't want to have to type the answers on the on-screen keyboard.<br /><br />יעקב: The Sony epub reader does *not* display Hebrew properly. I think that if you were to install a custom unicode Hebrew font, the text would display, but backwards. My understanding is that Sony (or Adobe?) has not implemented the epub standard's rtl capabalities. Android is also limited in this respect, which seems to explain why pointed Hebrew doesn't work on Ankidroid. I have heard, however, that MoonReader+ displays rtl Hebrew correctly (http://mendele.co.il/?cat=483), and it can be installed on a rooted PRS-T1 (http://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/PRST1_working_apps#General_Reading_Apps). I don't know for sure whether it displays Hebrew correctly on the rooted PRS-T1.
