Bug Description

Calibre 0.9.29 64-bit for Windows 7

When converting Simplified Chinese text files to ebooks, Calibre auto-detects the charset of GBK-encoded Chinese text files as GB2312, which makes GBK characters not in GB2312 unreadable (GBK is a superset of GB2312).

There is no way to reliably detet txt file encoding you need to specify
the encoding in the conversion options.

GBK is obviously a better choice than GB2312, when auto-detection is needed.
