Device: kobo aura hd
Bug: the reader can't open files with the ! in the file name (not book name or metadata, only file name)
Product: kobo aura hd
Firmware: 2.8.1 (9a63806202, 15/07/13)
Plugins:
File types: kobo epub
Sideloaded or from Kobobooks:
On external SD: yes
Steps to reproduce:
  1. load a kepub in your sd card
  2. rename the kepub file (in the sd) and add ! where you want
Current result: the kepub won't be opened and a warning notice will appear telling you to reload the library or contact the kobo help from the site
Workaround: you have to eliminate the ! from the file and from every file you'll eventually load on the sd.

Ps: i've found this bug after the conversion with calibre of 1 epub that has the file name and book title with a !. the problem appears only when the ! is in the file name. i've also checked if it appears with the ! in the "<dc:title>" and "<meta content=" line of the content.opf and i've not found any problem there.
