I don't get this at all. Here is a raw sample (BBcode quote added) pasted from an epub in the viewer:

Quote:
Call me Ishmael. Some years ago—never mind how long precisely— having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen and regulating the circulation.
My experience down the line is the same as AnotherCat's.

Even blogger accepted the paste as text, see attached.

FYI I am running:

Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit)
Calibre Portable 0.9.29

If you pm a link to the book I'll be happy to try that MS infested book in the viewer.
