I bought a kindle book which I want to read on my preferred reader (NOT kindle) so I brought the .azw into calibre using a particular plugin which automatically converted it into a mobi.
The mobi conversion was pretty good, with the exception of some weird characters (question marks inside diamond shape), I realize this is probably an issue with the plugin, not calibre.
However, when converting the mobi to epub (my preferred format), calibre cleaned up the weird characters and it looks real nice. BUT all the links are broken! I.e., all the links in the books printed TOC and in the generated TOC.
All kaput!
Is there anything I can do to remedy this? I'd really prefer to keep the epub format.
Thanks
Questions inside Diamonds (squares...) are usually Missing Glyphs

This could be from using the (guessed if not specified) wrong character encoding
OR
The display font you are using does not contain those glyphs (a bare-bones font)
