Sorry for not being clearer. I have some cookbooks in mobi and some in epub. I'd like to convert between the two. I have an HP Touchpad which doesn't have a decent epub reader, but the Kindle program is quite good. Also I have a couple of cookbooks I bought at Amazon that I'd like to use in my regular Android reader as epubs.

I've noticed that ⅓ and ⅔ don't get converted. Since posting this originally, I should add ⅛, ⅜, ⅝ and ⅞ since these are all common measurements in American cookbooks.

Is there some setting that I could use to tell Calibre to convert these characters properly? Or should I edit the files by hand?

Thanks very much.
