Hi all.

Newcomer here, just got my Astak PP and started using Calibre. I bought the Astak PP because I heard that it had built in foreign language support and I mainly want to use it to read Chinese and Japanese. So, I use Calibre to fetch Chinese and Japanese news sites (using the built in recipe for the Chinese one and just using the Japanese RSS sites), but it comes up as ??? for all of my news pulls.

The files are converted to epub but are not displaying correctly on the Astak. The files do display correctly on my computer however. I have updated my firmware, but I'm not sure as to what I should do from here. Converting the files to PDF makes them readable, but I'd rather have them in epub and use the automatic fetching and conversion feature of Calibre. Can anyone help me out?
