the file menu. This happens every single time.
On looking at the book on my PC using mobipocket reader I
can see a strange character which looks like a square on the same page as the one where I am kicked out on the be-book.
I can only assume it is this character which is causing the
problem.
I`ve tried downloading the book a couple of times with the
same result.
I`ve even tried buying the book from another site but it`s the same file with the same character. 
Any ideas?
Is there a way to delete the character? |
Downloading the same book over and over won't change the actual content in the book. It sounds like you have a higher ascii character that isn't correctly escaped. You'll need to notify the store where you bought the book, saying that there is a problem with the book (it would help if you actually say where it is, naturally), and hope they'll fix the source. Once they've done that, you can download and try again.
Or, you could remove the DRM, and either convert to epub (I don't like that format, but that's personal) or convert to HTML, edit the HTML (aka, replace the offending character with its HTML counterpart) and convert back to Mobipocket (which is what I would do...)
