Anyone else seen this? Not happening with all books, but most.

PS just tried sending the same books as mobi's and they still work, and they also don't have any problems with the punctuation being scrambled. they also send the book cover properly, so I'll stick with mobi...until it stops working.
That’s to do with the character encoding of the ePub. See this:
