Hi,

it seems that utf-8 does NOT solve all my problems, after all.

As an example, I downloaded from Amazon's kindle store a (free, non DRM) book bei Karl May - Old Surehand 1.

Converting this to rtf gives perfect text, but the empty lines between paragraphs have vanished.

[EDIT: I just looked at the original text in the KindleForPC reader software, and apparently Calibre's txt conversion actually improves on the Original where paragraph spacing is concerned - the Original does't have any spaces between paragraphs either, so the rtf conversion is really 1:1.]

Converting to txt (the only settings on the Txt Output page being utf-8/system/plain) gives me spaces between paragraphs, but unicode junk instead of umlauts, apostrophes and such loke.

Is there a setting for either of those conversions that I have overlooked and that will solve my problem?

Regards,

Jochen
