uploaded a book to my database - got an error - and gone was my database on my 505 with all bookmarks etc.

I'm pissed...

this error came up:

('ascii', 'database/media/books/<name of author removed/name of book removed/name of book removed.lrf', 94, 95, 'ordinal not in range(128)')

Traceback (most recent call last):
