I'm trying to convert a stardict to kobo dict, for what should be obvious reasons. I've got penelope installed, I have marisa installed. I have penelope 'working' in that I can type penelope and then a various command and it does something, i.e. penelope -h does generate a list of commands I can use.

However when I try and convert a stardict to kobo i get

penelope -i /Users/Glitch/Downloads/MalazanDict.zip -j stardict -f en -t en -p kobo -o mk-it
[INFO] Reading input file(s)...

    return codecs.utf_8_decode(input, errors, True)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0x92 in position 213: invalid start byte

the stardict in question is from http://thefictionary.net/steven-erikson/ I'm using version 14 from this site.

A quick google indicates this may be an issue with an asci character, but I'm in the dark as to how to resolve it.

Any help would be appreciated, I want to learn how to do this since the dictionary in question will be updated at later dates as more books in the Malazan series are released.
