(Get the code!)
Raj -- thanks! Actually, it was the National Yiddish Book Center's archive that inspired me to use BookReader for my own project, the digitization of four decades of the journal "Yugntruf" in Yiddish. I'm very grateful for the right-to-left support in BookReader!
My only (almost trivial) comment was that the "play" button for making the pages flip on their own looked a bit funny to me pointing to the right if the pages are flipping to the left. So I flipped the button in a graphics editor (now the shadow's on the wrong side but that's getting pretty nitpicky.)
What I was talking about more generally though was changing the UI to a right-to-left language as well, which I'm doing in my case as I'd like the UI to be in Yiddish. You can see a preview of the project I'm doing here:

Mangtronix -- Thanks for the idea! I will try making the changes to the text outside of the BookReader.js file so I don't have to redo them every time I upgrade (until the internal variables change!). As you can see in the link above I changed all the text in the UI except for the words "width", "height" and "auto", where I was afraid of messing something else up since I didn't really understand the code. I also had to reverse the order of the rightmost, right, left, leftmost icons since when their order was switched automatically by adding dir='rtl' to <body> (and/or when I changed the HTTP header to rtl), since they looked silly that way. So maybe there could be a conditional order if the code can detect which direction the page is in? (or something like that)
Thanks so much for this great project!
