New forum member and first post. I ran into the garbled special character problem with epub documents yesterday. I generally email them to my Bezos account and things work fine. I opened the epub in Calibre and saw that the garble was coming from left & right single & double quotes and the em dash long hyphen. I just fat finger replace-all the left & right single & double quotes with regular single and double quote, and the em dash long hyphen with the regular dash character. I did “save a copy” and emailed that to Bezos land. Clunky but I wanted to read the book last night and it was fixed in a few minutes. It didn’t occur to me to try reforming from epub to epub. I’d only used Calibre to go from epub to mobi and then use their API to email the converted document to Amazon.
