yeah, that's what i meant, haha.

Anyway, i just removed them from the text, then replaced a lot of "€" signs from the text that where supposed to represent "-" , " ' " , "-" etc (too much work, haha) and then save the document and latter open it with firefox and NOW its firefox who displays question marks:

One night in Oc�to�ber when he was ten years old, Tyler Dupree stood in his back yard and watched the stars go out. They all flared in�to bril�liance at once, then dis�ap�peared, re�placed by a flat,

I saved it and stored it in epub format again and imported it to the reader and now it shows up all blank (no text at all after where the first question mark was)

I checked the encoding on the file and its UTF-8. Tried changing it to all possible combinations with no result. It look's i'll have to transform it to lrf after all.

Will still post a solution if i find one. Maybe its just a bad series of book i downloaded



edit:

i also get an error when opening these books with calibre (last version)
