I was adding some books to my library today, and noticed that quite a few of them were being added to the library as ZIP format.

After a big more investigation, it turns out that all of these files, were .htm files. I opened them to check the contents, to make sure they werent actually zipfiles with .htm extensions, but they werent.

If I tried to 'View' the ebooks, it opened my file manager and showed the file (as if it was a ZIP i guess).

But if I chose to convert it to EPUB, it worked fine.

Is this a known problem?
