[QUOTE=kovidgoyal;530466@tselling: If your input documents don't specify a correct character encoding, you have to specify it manually in the conversion options. As for the crasing on the Bulk convert, that's another of the cant replicate issues, so it's hard for me to debug. Just Bulk convert in smaler batches for now.[/QUOTE]

Regarding the character encoding problem: I have found that EPub ebooks on the Jetbook do not have the character encoding problems. Some of the mobipocket ebooks were converted from original epub ebooks... and some of the EPub ebooks were converted from original mobipocket format. Is it possible that character encoding got lost in the conversion? I am not sure why none of the EPub ebooks seem to have the problem... does character encoding work differently for EPub books?

Regarding the crashing, I have around 150 ebooks in my Calibre library running on Vista 64. If I try to convert all 150 books (say mobi to mobi conversion to add UTF-8 character encoding), Calibre always crashes (Not responding error where I have to click OK and the program quits). If I convert 25 books at a time it usually works ok, but may crash before the last 25 books are converted. If I convert 50 books at a time ususally works ok the first time but often crashes on the next 50, or the last 50.

PS. Thanks for the great work on this application. Its a great tool!
