Making Newton eBooks with Asian Characters using Newt's Cape

• "it's possible to read web sites and create Newton books in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian,... using Newt's Cape -- assuming you've got the proper encodings installed to read the sites, and fonts to display the sites and the books." -- Source: Steve Weyer

Making Newton Paperbacks with Asian Characters

• "PBBookMaker from the DCL can convert to books any document in UTF-8. http://tools.unna.org/paperback" -- Source: Paul Guyot
• Paul shows a demo with the Japanese ebook Rashomon on his website. "I didn't handle the endlines very well, but Rashomon could be read on a Newton: http://www.kallisys.com/newton/einstein/screenshots/einstein_dp4-rashomon.png"
• Downside: "The maximum file size (either for an uploaded file or a file retrieved from a URL) is 1MB" (http://tools.unna.org/paperback)
