Question ebook has no paragraphs and messed up quotes
Hello all

I am new to this forum and I love the calibre software. That said, I downloaded a novel by Isaac Asimov (The Naked Sun), and it appears to be a bit messed up. See the attached image. Before I go ahead and buy the ebook, I thought I would try to fix the free one I downloaded.

As you can see, the table of contents is basically unformatted, there are no paragraphs to divide up the dialogue, and the quotes are messed up. Can I fix this? Sorry if this is the wrong place.

My device is a kinldle paperwhite and I have both the epub and mobi format of this book

So what do you expect us to do about it? There's nothing we will be doing to help you with your stolen book.
