Hebrew fonts on digital readers

Hebrew fonts on digital readers

I tried converting a text document containing Hebrew and Spanish to the
Kindle format. The Spanish was readable, but the Hebrew was junk. Although I
can read html in Hebrew on the Kindle, it does not let me read html
documents that are stored locally. I contacted Amazon, and was informed that
Hebrew is not currently supported on the Kindle, though they may be working
on it. I can convert the document to pdf, which I CAN read on the Kindle,
but then I can't use a dictionary for the Spanish, which is my goal in
transferring the document.

My question is: is there another digital reader (sony, barnes and noble,
borders, whoever), which can handle Hebrew charset? I am NOT talking about
iPad or a similar devices, as they are much too expensive, and of course any
netbook and up can read the documents in multiple formats.

Thanks,

Z.
