[Nook Glowlight Plus] Reading Foreign Characters?

I have issues displaying foreign characters on my Nook, especially Korean hangul and Chinese... Any advice?

I wanted to read some language learning methods epubs and it is quite frustrating not to have the characters displayed.

Thanks!

The Nook has a limited alphabet, I believe it's just a Latin and possibly Slavic with little to no support for Chinese and Korean characters.

It may be possible, though I am skeptical, to add support if you root your NGP. You would have better luck asking in the developer forum for Nook on this site, or over on XDA's Nook hacking forum.

You can enable adb from settings and install another reader app(moonreader etc. ) through adb interface(adb install asd.apk)I believe rooting is not necessary if you don't need foreign letters on standart nook reader.
