Some Simiplifed Chinese files (TXT and HTML) can't displayed

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create some Chinese native TXT files (charset GB2312)or HTML file with 
charset as GB2312. (or download a Chinese novel from online in plain TXT 
format)
2. Copy these files to /var/root/Media/EBooks in IPod Touch
3. Open Book reader on ipod, Change the enconding of Book reader 
to "Simplifed Chinese (Mac OS)" or either "Simplified Chinese (EUC)"
then, try to open all of these files in either TXT or HTML format

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Some files are displyed correct, but some of them can't displayed. the 
error message is:"Incorrect text encoding. try changing defualt encoding 
in preferences", however all files are actually using same encoding or 
charset, because I have used same format converter converted thse files.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.

Would it be possible for someone to attach examples of such text files to this 
issue?
 The core developers of Books are admittedly more oriented towards Roman character
set based languages.  

We'll happily work to support other character sets, but unfortunately don't 
know how
to even create such files at this point.

• Added labels: charset

I've confirmed that UTF-8 charset Chinese HTML displays properly.  For GB2312, 
it's
probably necessary to manually select the character set in preferences.

Absent any sample file to reproduce with, I'm closing this issue.  If the 
problem
persists in the latest (1.4) builds, please re-open this issue AND attach a 
sample
file which exhibits the problem.
