I need some answers from ebook readers, please!!!?

I want to buy the electronic reader but i need some advice. If i use books, PDF or text files with unicode characters they will be properly displayed or i will get rubish in the text? Also i wander if PDF books are also wraped lines to the screen as other formats, i am thinking about sony reader i think kindle is a little better but less compatible and sony has more options. Can someone give me some experienced infomations? thank you in advance

Update:

i want to open books in polish language. I never use ereaders so i know nothing but i want it for older person and i'm worried if polish characters will be properly displayed and the text will be wraped when using big fonts. Actiually i don't mean zooming the screen so the person will have to scroll the line to see but the lines are wraped down to fit the screen, if you understand what i mean

    It would help if you said exactly what languages you are interested in displaying.

    Here is one discussion re displaying Japanese and Italian but it sounds there may be a Japan-purchased Sony reader model that supports Japanese

    It would be easier to search for information on specific languages.

    I know of no ereader that supports full unicode and has fonts for all languages.
