Hello,

I have a problem opening Winword DOC files if they are contained in ZIP archives. The PB360 displays them as Word Documents in the book list, however, it cannot open them.

If I have a DOC file inside a ZIP archive, it is shown in the book list like this (Details view):

Stephen King -- Gerald's Game
MS Word document 425 kB
Friday January 29 2010

The title is taken from the ZIP filename, the file type seems to be taken from the file within the archive, and the file size is the size of the ZIP archive. If I try to open such a zipped DOC, I get the following error:

"Cannot open book. Perhaps the book is damaged or protected."

If I have the same DOC unzipped in the books list, it is opened by FBReader normally.
