Hi all!

I am using Calibre 0.6.34 on Windows 7 Ultimate (Spanish edition). When I send an ebook to my SONY PRS-505, if the metadata contain non-English characters, after the reader is unplugged, it shows wrong (strange) characters in the place of them.
For instance, "El extraño" is converted in "El extra?o".

If I plug the reader again, I can edit the reader data and replace the wrong characters by means of Calibre (but it is annoying).

This does not happen if I load the same ebook by means of the Sony Reader Library (v. 3.1.00.12040).

I have tried to set English and Spanish as Calibre language, with the same result.

Some suggestion? (Thanks in advance)
