FBReader can read quite a few formats. However, I don't think that is the problem. Besides, asking people to create yet another format for submissions here seems counterproductive. Like I said, I think that the problem can be easily solved (in any format) by using the HTML tags, instead of the extended characters. I have seen this type of problem in other software before.

Attached is an ebook. I used the HTML that I extracted from the original ebook. I replaced the curly-quotes, curly apostrophes and em-dashes with HTML tags. I then used MakeDoc to create a PRC (without the images). This displays correctly in FBReader.

From looking at the PRC that BD created, both BD and MakeDoc seem to be wrapping the HTML in a PRC file, with compression. My understanding is that this is essentially what a MobiPocket ebook is. The only real difference that I can see is that I used the HTML tags, so that those characters displayed correctly.
