It can be hard to convert TXT to something else because plain text has no metadata (describing the properties of the document). The encoding is the convention used to map from the file's binary bits to characters. For English characters this does not matter because most encodings use the same convention for them, but they differ in how they map other binary patterns to characters. What you are seeing is binary patterns that have been mapped to the wrong character.

I tried both ways and still alot of question marks appear on the book. is it because the book is in spanish? please help, i need to read this book to improve my spanish asap. i was so excited to find the book for free on epub and now can't read it.
