I have a problem with some ePub files--the soft hyphens are showing up as question marks on my 300 Reader (but look fine in the Sony Library program). I read here that converting the ePub to ePub in Calibre will solve this.

BUT: When I try this, the output file has tiny font and the lines of text overlap. I'd like to keep the original font sizes, spacing, etc. I tried checking "disable font size rescaling" in the Conversion preferences--same result.

Is there anything I should do/not do to convert ePub to ePub but leave the formatting alone? Thx.
