How to Read Japanese Books on My Sony E-Reader
Sony's Reader e-ink device cannot read Japanese e-books due to lack of support for Japanese characters. If you want to read Japanese manga or books, you can get around this character limitation by converting your e-books into PDF files, which store each page as an image, allowing you to view the Japanese characters without Japanese support. Once converted, you can put the PDF file onto your E-Reader and read it just like an e-book.
