2506	epub2lrf creates file that raises UnicodeDecodeError when loaded	jace	kovidgoyal	"I used eCub to generate an epub file from HTML sources. This file is viewable using Calibre's viewer, but not on my PRS-505, where all pages show as blank.

To get around this, I used epub2lrf, but the resultant file freezes the PRS-505 and shows the following error in Calibre's viewer.
