6 months ago I have not run into any epubs that trigger this yet, but sometimes I do clean up the epub first with Calibre, that might be worth trying in your case. Here's what I do:
- Select book
- Click "Convert books"
- Choose "Look & feel" from left pane
- Choose "Text" tab in right pane
- Change input character coding to utf-8
- Check "Unsmarten punctuation"
- Check Transliterate Unicode characters to ASCII
- Choose EPUB in Output Format (upper right corner)
Let me know if that solves the issue. I have been reluctant to build in similar functionality to epub2tts-edge because it can turn into a real rabbit hole trying to decide how many changes to make.

Error created while converting .epub to .txt. Is there a fast way of detecting such characters and removing these errors. Is calibre the best app for fixing issues like this?
