Hmmm, doesn't open correctly in Adobe Digital Editions, which some consider the benchmark for epub rendering. The table of contents titles render correctly, but all the text of the book renders as question marks.

The embedded HTML files do appear to be UTF-8, which is the proper encoding. There must be something screwed up just a bit, putting it out of spec. I tried importing the individual files into calibre as a zipped html and re-converted to epub, but the problem persists. Someone with more knowledge of the epub format will need to comment.

ADE doesn't have the neccessary unicode fonts to rende the contents of this book. It renders fine (as far as I can tell, not being able to read chinese) in the calibre viewer. As for why it doesn't work on the BeBook, since the beBook uses ADE, that isn't surprising.

thanks ldolse and kovid.

Are there any ways to solve them?

thanks again.

look for the custom fonts for ade thread in the sony reader forums. Eventually, calibre will support embedding fonts in epub
