Weird characters on PRS-600 after transfer from calibre

Hi!

I'm transmitting ebooks via calibre to my PRS-600s Memorystick. This works fine so far. Books are available on the reader; tags are properly translated to collections.

Unfortunately some of the titles and author-names are damaged: the last char is replaced by some strange symbol (PRS-600 mostly shows them as a little box). If I select the MemoryStick in calibre, it shows some strange chinese chars.

The entries in my library are shown without this error.

Any ideas?

Using calibre on Win7 x64, german installation.

Yours,

Marc

Exactly,

thanks for the info. Hopefully this gets fixed soon. Though it's not a real problem (things work fine), it looks quite irritating.
