It had DRM so I had to remove that, then used Mobiunpack to extract the html. The plan was to fix all the layout problems, then turn it back into a mobi with Mobicreator. I've done this lots of times with other ebooks.

But with this one, a lot of random words are missing from the html that are in the original AZW file. There's also problems with html tags, missing — < characters that will make the tags crash into the text.

Any ideas what would cause all this?

i use calibre to either extract a txt file or an rtf file.
