ePub on BlackBerry?

Is there an application for reading ePubs on a BlackBerry? I know Mobipocket is now supposed to handle that, but when I tried running an epub through Mobipocket Desktop (which then converts the ePub to .mobi), all the apostrophes and quotation marks are now a string of symbols. This is the same issue I'm continuing to have with Calibre when converting epub to anything else, the apostrophes and quotation marks are either missing, or converted to something else entirely, making the files essentially unreadable. I did submit a support ticket to Kovid, but got back that it worked fine for them, so I have no idea why it won't work for me.
That's the reason I bought the Asus in the first place, is so I wouldn't have to mess with converting. But, occasionally I'd like to read something that isn't a .mobi file or belongs to B&N on my BlackBerry, and most of my purchases are ePubs. I also tried putting an unDRM'd ePub in the B&N ebooks folder but the software won't pick it up. Anyone got any ideas?
