Hi

I have a bit of a funny problem with Calibre and my paperwhite 2.

So I am converting Chinese books to azw3 format so I can embed a custom font. With the azw3 file converted by calibre I cannot select the individual characters, the kindle will just select a block of characters between punctuation or whitespace as though all of those characters were one word.

I have a .mobi copy of "Romance of the three kingdoms" and in it the Kindle lets me select individual characters, or arbitrarily long sets of characters (It also works in books from the Chinese Kindle store) so the issue is in the conversion process.

Since I am learning Chinese I want to use my custom font and the dictionary at the same time.
