I have encountered an ebook in my Calibre Library that cannot be opened in the built in reader or converted to any other format. Attempts to open the book (lit format) gives this error:
calibre, version 0.7.46
ERROR: Could not open ebook: Extra closing tag

LitError: Extra closing tag
Clearly, this is the book, and not a problem with Calibre. I'm wondering if anyone is familiar with this issue, and can the error be corrected (keeping in mind that I'm not very experienced with Calibre yet, or ebook technologies)? Perhaps there is place to learn how to fix a damaged ebook? Any advice is most appreciated.
thanks,
DJ
