UTF8 Error, need help

Hi,

I finally decided that I need calibre managed collections on my Kindle 3 and installed the plugin. On first use I ran into the same problem as vallema before in this posting:

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...de#post1955048

upon the attempt to read-in the Kindle collections for manual use (to start with). I get this:

Spoiler:

calibre, version 0.9.6
ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>UnicodeDecodeError</b>:'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 63-64: invalid continuation byte

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "calibre_plugins.kindle_collections.kindle_sor t", line 139, in sort_compare_kindle_names
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 63-64: invalid continuation byte



However, I do not see any strange characters in the names of the 32 collections I have on the Kindle.

Meme was suggesting to him at that time to run in debug-mode to figure out what book is causing the problem. I do not find any such problem in the output file of the debug mode (only possibly problematic lines out of 12,000)

Spoiler:

How can I find which (of the almost 2000) books is the culprit?

Thanxx for an help,
