Hi,

I have an eReader book which I've converted to HTML using ereader2html.py. The HTML has single quotes (apostrophes) and double quotes present in the source and they all show okay when I view the HTML in IE.

However, when I use Calibre to convert the HTML to LRF to put onto my Sony the resulting file has all the qoutes (single and double) stripped out and replaced by spaces.

Am I missing some setting/switch which is obviously called "don't remove quotes" or something like that? Or do I have an unusual problem.

Is it Calibre or should I have done something different during the conversion from eReader?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Cheers,
Terry.
