If I post a very obvious question please excuse me, I am rather new to a lot of file formats, been on lit on an ipaq for some time.

I downloaded a book which turned out to be a lot of loose files in a OEBPS folder. Using mobireader I converted this to prc, still thinking that mobireader was a good app for my nokia 5800.

After a lot of messing around with the app on my nokia I gave up and found zxreader. Using Calibre I converted the prc to .fb2. Somehow that ended up in the cp866 character set which messed up the book into something unreadable.

Thinking that something was wrong I grabbed an old .lit file and converted that which went fine.

So... can I fix this? What's the best way to handle a OEBPS folder structure anyway?
