Kindle has revolutionised book reading. Notwithstanding the opinions of those who prefer real books over Kindle, I have taken to serious reading after I bought myself a Kindle. For now, Kindle only supports a limited number of fonts that cover around 40 languages. Rest assured that all European languages are covered as most of them use the same script. Among the Indian languages, it supports Hindi, Gujarati, Malayalam, Marathi and Tamil as of now, but not Kannada. Especially after Amazon removed the book ‘5 ಪೈಸೆ ವರದಕ್ಷಿಣೆ’ by the Kannada author Vasudhendra from the Kindle store stating that Kannada is not supported, more and more people have become aware of this issue. This means that authors cannot publish and readers cannot buy Kannada books from the Kindle store. We will have to wait till Amazon decides to support Kannada or shift to another platform which would support it (there are other sites where you can buy Kannada ebooks to read on other devices.
