This is really weird!!

I have Calibre 0.9.14 (64-bit) running on a Windows 7 system.

I downloaded an Amazon free book the other day, removed the DRM crap, and added the book to my Calibre library.

I've read the book on my Kindle (sans DRM). I can read it on my Android phone with FBReader (also without DRM). I can even read it with Kindle for PC (no DRM). So I really don't need to know, but it's bugging me.... why would the Calibre e-book viewer allow me to see the cover but all pages are blank?

The location info in the upper left corner shows 2.0 / 449, and while I can increment the 2.0, nothing ever shows up in the window. I can also use the scroll bar to slide through the book, but nothing shows up, and the counter in the upper left doesn't change.

I sent the book to a friend running the same Calibre version and he could view the content without a problem.

I opened the database with an older version of Calibre (32-bit 0.8.64 IIRC) and no content displays there either.

After all that, I'm just confused. I'd have to admit it's not a Calibre problem, but I'm not even sure I know what to look at..... any suggestions?

Thanks!
