Failed to extract text from gutenberg books
I get the following error on some gutenberg books when I call "MobiReader.extract_text()". For example, both Kindle ebooks of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland at https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/11 will cause this error.

Code:
 mobiReader.extract_text()
  File "calibre/ebooks/mobi/reader/mobi6.py", line 802, in extract_text
  File "calibre/ebooks/mobi/reader/mobi6.py", line 802, in <listcomp>
  File "calibre/ebooks/mobi/reader/mobi6.py", line 797, in text_section
  File "calibre/ebooks/mobi/reader/mobi6.py", line 787, in sizeof_trailing_entries
TypeError: ord() expected a character, but string of length 0 found
KindleUnpack doesn't have this issue, I find the similar code at https://github.com/kevinhendricks/Ki...r.py#L816-L830 but don't know how to fix the bug.
