Kindle/Mobi support for accented characters

guiyoforward · 08-29-2010, 06:42 PM

Hi, sorry if this is a Calibre question, but when I convert epub books to mobi to read on my kindle accented characters translate to "?" plus some more errors - say, "élite" displays as "?lite" or worse.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a "feature"?
Thanks
