Garbage characters in gutenburg books

Hi,
Whenever I download project gutenburg etexts onto my reader, things like quotes (" or ') and up being its value (&23bx or somesuch...I just made that up), which is probably good for a computer to interpret, but looks ugly to me. Do you guys do some kind of preprocessing to clean stuff like this out before you upload to your reader? Or am I downloading these files incorrectly? Specifically, I'm referring to the ASCII versions of the texts.

thanks,

-y
