Since I'm sober I won't even think of inflicting my German on anyone, so here goes...

Some of the file names in the zip'd collection such as ... Gänseliesel...1886.epub contain non-ASCII characters such as ä that happen to be latin1-encoded (0xE4). As a result, the (brain-dead) qt interface used by calibre fails to load the e-book to its library. Worse, the qt dialog gives out a misleading "File not found" message instead of identifying correctly the problem via something like "Invalid file name".

So it's probably better to either use file names with 7-bit ASCII-only characters (such as ae instead of ä.. oe instead of ö... etc.) or make sure the file names only contain valid UTF-8 characters...

Anyway.. just an excuse to let you know that your illustrated Jung gefreit looks absolutely gorgeous both in the calibre viewer and on the Kobo Glo..!
