Hello all!

I have an issue and I would like some help.

I recently bought an ebook through eSentral (a Malaysian company), which uses their own eSentral reader to access and read the books. In my laptop, the book is divided in META-INF and OEPBS folders within which there are separate files (.opf, .html etc.)

I wanted to create an epub for safekeeping just in case, and after some research I used this method I found in the forum here.

It seemed to have worked initially, Calibre was able to recognize the Title of the book and all, converted it to epub, BUT unfortunately when I opened the epub file the book was all gibberish. No readable text-just random letters everywhere, no images etc.

I suspect it is because the book is DRMed? I am not sure if it is possible to troubleshoot this issue.

I would be very grateful for any help/info.
