David...

Thanks for the detailed explanation regarding my problem.

Could I ask a question on a different topic?

The item I was talking about was a book review, not a book. I had it as a text file, and converted it to epub using an online converter. When I opened it in Calibre, all the quotation marks and apostrophes were replaced by little boxes... hollow squares.

I couldn't find any way to fix that in Calibre, so I used Calibre to generate the epub file, and all was OK. Which I guess makes sense.

But is there a way to edit files in Calibre? To use a search-and-replace for example to fix problems or do text formatting? Or do you have to do all that before converting it to an epub? And if the answer to the last question is "Yes," what's the best format to work in to prepare a file for Calibre to convert to epub?

Thanks,
Tom
