Recently I purchased a azw book from Amazon and converted it to epub with the most recent calibre version. It converted ok, but there were abundant spelling errors throughout the book. It looked like the results of a ocr that had converted text and couldn't distinguished many letters and letter combos. I had never encountered such with calibre before.

In addition, after the conversion the results were an epub and an htmlz book - usually calibre (2013 version) gives the original azw file rather than an htmlz file.

Does anyone have any ideas what happened and how to correct it?
