I have several books in .txt format with Western (Mac OS Roman) encoding.
Upon conversion with Calibre in any available formats (epub, mobi, azw3, txt ...) the italian accented letters, such as ò, é, è, ù, à are converted to strange symbols and are not readable when sent to my Kindle device.
I have tried to save my original files with UTF-8 encoding with no success. I used UTF-8, cp1252 and many more encoding options for producing output. No success. Any suggestions?
Thanks
