Bug Description

Using Calibre version 2.38 in Linux Mint

This occurs in all of the epubs I tried when I tried to convert it from epub to htmlz. I tried changing the input character encoding to UTF-8. Even then the same issue is occuring.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "site.py", line 63, in main
  File "site-packages/calibre/utils/ipc/worker.py", line 193, in main
  File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/convert/gui_conversion.py", line 31, in gui_convert_override
  File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/convert/gui_conversion.py", line 25, in gui_convert

UnicodeEncodeError: 'latin-1' codec can't encode character u'\u2019' in position 620: ordinal not in range(256)

This is the error which I got. If you want I can attach the input epub file

Thanks for the fix. It's working Apparently the same error also occurs while converting from epub to zip format.

Here's the debug.
