Amazon now offers Arabic Kindle books

Postby Doitsujin » Tue Jun 26, 2018 5:56 pm

Here's an excerpt from the official press release:
Amazon wrote:Starting today, readers will find a large digital selection of popular Arabic language titles in the Kindle Store including books from leading authors like Naguib Mahfouz, and Nizar Qabani, best-sellers like Al Aswad Yaliko Biki and Harbo Alkalbi Athania (winner of the 2018 International Prize for Arabic Fiction), classics like Ibn Khaldoun’s Muqadimah, Al-Mutanabbi’s anthology, and Kalila wa Dimna as well as translated English language bestsellers like How to Win Friends and Influence People, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, A Tale of Two Cities and Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Customers can shop for Arabic language Kindle books on existing Amazon websites including http://www.amazon.com/KindleArabic, http://www.amazon.co.uk/KindleArabic, and http://www.amazon.de/arabischeEbooks.
You'll need at least a 2nd Generation Kindle Paperwhite (the 2013 model) with the latest firmware (>=5.9.6) or the latest Kindle for iOS/Android app. (The Kindle for PC/macOS apps don't support Amazon Arabic Kindle books.)

If you happen to have Arabic epub books, you'll need to convert them with Calibre and the Calibre KFX Output plugin to KFX files. (You'll also need to install Kindle Previewer.)
