  (Asked by: username_0 on 2013-12-19)
  
  I have a Hebrew ebook in `epub` format; I would like to convert it to `mobi`, since I read exclusively on my Kindle. Hebrew reads right-to-left.
  
  Kindle supports Hebrew ebooks (I have often used [Tinderizer](http://tinderizer.com/) to send Hebrew articles to my Kindle). I tried converting this ebook to `.mobi` using Calibre, the book looked fine in Calibre's `View specific format` preview window, but on my actual Kindle device, the RTL-format was messed up - each word was readable (individual characters RTL as expected), but the words themselves were in the wrong order (LTR).
  
  Is there a way I can convert my file into a readable `.mobi` file?
