Error code: ConversionGeneratedEmptyDoc Error message

I am attempting to upload a .zip document with a very clean index.html doc inside it (including a few .jpgs).

I receive the following error message after pressing "Upload":

/* BEGIN ERROR MESSAGE */

Error code: ConversionGeneratedEmptyDoc Error message: ************************************* * Kindle Creator V6.01 build 41 * * Copyright Amazon.com 2003-2007 * ************************************* Error(core): Failed conversion to unicode. The resulting string may contain wrong characters. Er

/* END ERROR MESSAGE */


The problem with this error message is that it contains more header detail than detail identifying the error.

I discovered that my font encoding was incorrect. Changing it from utf-8 to the western iso corrected the problem.

However, the error message remains obtuse. I would like to see the line number where the error is first encountered, or have the option for it to open to a new tab where more specific details may be displayed.

Thanks
