What happened?

In both mobile app and web app, the descriptions of books have visible html. See screenshots. I figure since this issue occurs on both clients, the data being stored in the DB is getting encoded.

What did you expect to happen?

Either:

  • Strip the HTML tags.
  • Respect the html format.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Have a library that uses audible as the metadata provider.
  2. Scan a book.
