Hi JSWolf
I'm sorry to have to ask but would you mind talking me through this please? I search, found and installed the Modify Epub plugin. Do I need to edit the plugin in or customise it in some way to set it to UTF-8. And do I just then import the epub file and Calibre takes care of things automatically.

I did try importing the original epub file again and sent it to my kindle. Still had the same funky characters and symbols within the text. So I imported the original file a second time and converted it from epub to epub and sent it to kindle and that seemed to correct it all. So I don't seem to need to convert from epub to mobi to epub again. Still have to do one conversion from epub to epub though.

Should I still have to do this if I've done as you suggested (which I don't think I fully have)? So how do I set the plugin to UTF-8 please. Sorry to be so obtuse.

Many thanks.
