Error while extracting - can not pinpoint the exact source of error

[flintstones-fred]

When I try to download a particular book (most books work amazingly well), I get the following error. And unlike previous cases, I can't tell you what is the source of the error. The download seems to happen without issues and maybe the chapterizer fails? I have replicated this on macOS and linux that are using sonus 0.6.3.

Here is the output:

Downloading part 10 of 10... 100%

Book- "Year of the Tiger" and author Alice Wong

Yep, it looks like the chapterizer is failing when it tries to read the XML data embedded in the file.

The XML data contains the data necessary to cut the files and tag them so I'm very curious to see what's up with that book!

I've put a hold on the book (~8 weeks) so I can investigate it as soon as it's available.

edit It looks like this particular error is in regards to the encoding type of the XML data. That should be an easy fix if you're willing to do the testing for me.

I knew to hold on to the files because of this thread, i wondered did you ever get the book? i can grab it anytime

This is all set. There was an & in one of the text strings within the XML data and this is an invalid character in XML (it's an escape character).
