I was having a problem but then I installed the Kindle Unpack plugin and it's fixed now. Nothing to see here!

Sorry to bother anyone

File "site-packages\calibre\ebooks\mobi\reader\markup.py", line 51, in update_internal_links
File "encodings\utf_8.py", line 16, in decode
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xa7 in position 1916058: invalid start byte

I *think* this was a bug fixed in 0.9.31 or thereabouts. Try upgrading to the latest version (.32 at the moment) and try the conversion again.

I installed Kindle Unpack plug in and that worked. Thank you for your help. Sorry to waste your time.
