So I guess I will have to bite the bullet and download Book Designer? This will be a huge inconvenience because I will have to run it on a netbook(which I don't often keep at home) and transfer files back and forth using a flash drive. So I was really REALLY oping for a solution which only requires Calibre, but nobody is replying...

So IS there a way to fix my books using JUST Calibre? What setting am I overlooking? What am I doing wrong? I have found on the Sony Reader that even files which looked fine on my Mac in Calibre are having errors on the Reader---even the ones without the quotation issue are missing em-dashes and the like. But most importantly I am baffled as to why something will be visible in the reader on Calibre and then not be there wen transferred to the Sony. I just want to set this up so I can read my existing bought and paid for books! I won't be buying secure ones in the future thanks to all these headaches, but I have about 45 of them from the past that I really want to be able to use. I have used the decoder tool successfully but now need to get the resulting files in readable condition---preferably using JUST the mac and Calibre. Can't anybody help me, please?
