Calibre MOBI to EPUB conversion error
I started using Calibre today, and have converted two books with success. However, when attempting to convert a third book it came up with the Error:Conversion Error. I have carried out the same steps with this conversion as with the others and so I don't know what I have done wrong.
This is what the error message said: calibre, version 0.7.50 ERROR: Conversion Error: <b>Failed</b>: Convert book 1 of 1 (Shopaholic Ties the Knot) Convert book 1 of 1 (Shopaholic Ties the Knot) Resolved conversion options calibre version: 0.7.50 {'asciiize': False, 'author_sort': None, 'authors': None, 'base_font_size': 0.0, 'book_producer': None, 'change_justification': u'original', 'chapter': u"//*[((name()='h1' or name()='h2') and re:test(., 'chapter|book|section|part|prologue|epilogue\\s+', 'i')) or @class = 'chapter']", 'chapter_mark': u'pagebreak', 'comments': None, 'cover': 'c:\\users\\martin\\appdata\\local\\temp\\calibre_ 0.7.50_tmp_mo1ev9\\calibre_0.7.50_dbfriy.jpeg', 'debug_pipeline': None, 'dehyphenate': True, 'delete_blank_paragraphs': True, 'disable_font_rescaling': False, 'dont_split_on_page_breaks': False, 'enable_heuristics': False, 'epub_flatten': False, 'extra_css': None, 'extract_to': None, 'fix_indents': True, 'flow_size': 260, 'font_size_mapping': None, 'format_scene_breaks': True, 'html_unwrap_factor': 0.4, 'input_encoding': None, 'input_profile': <calibre.customize.profiles.InputProfile object at 0x058DA630>, 'insert_blank_line': False, 'insert_metadata': False, 'isbn': None, 'italicize_common_cases': True, 'keep_ligatures': False, 'language': None, 'level1_toc': None, 'level2_toc': None, 'level3_toc': None, 'line_height': 0.0, 'linearize_tables': False, 'margin_bottom': 5.0, 'margin_left': 5.0, 'margin_right': 5.0, 'margin_top': 5.0, 'markup_chapter_headings': True, 'max_toc_links': 50, 'minimum_line_height': 120.0, 'no_chapters_in_toc': False, 'no_default_epub_cover': False, 'no_inline_navbars': False, 'no_svg_cover': False, 'output_profile': <calibre.customize.profiles.GenericEink object at 0x058DA830>, 'page_breaks_before': u"//*[name()='h1' or name()='h2']", 'prefer_metadata_cover': False, 'preserve_cover_aspect_ratio': False, 'pretty_print': True, 'pubdate': None, 'publisher': None, 'rating': None, 'read_metadata_from_opf': 'c:\\users\\martin\\appdata\\local\\temp\\calibre_ 0.7.50_tmp_mo1ev9\\calibre_0.7.50_l64swd.opf', 'remove_first_image': False, 'remove_paragraph_spacing': False, 'remove_paragraph_spacing_indent_size': 1.5, 'renumber_headings': True, 'replace_scene_breaks': u'', 'series': None, 'series_index': None, 'smarten_punctuation': False, 'sr1_replace': None, 'sr1_search': None, 'sr2_replace': None, 'sr2_search': None, 'sr3_replace': None, 'sr3_search': None, 'tags': None, 'timestamp': None, 'title': None, 'title_sort': None, 'toc_filter': None, 'toc_threshold': 6, 'unwrap_lines': True, 'use_auto_toc': False, 'verbose': 2} InputFormatPlugin: MOBI Input running on C:\Users\Martin\Calibre Library\Kinsella_ Sophie\Shopaholic Ties the Knot (7)\Shopaholic Ties the Knot - Kinsella_ Sophie.mobi Extracting text...

That error indicates your MOBI file is corrupted, probably by whatever you used to remove the DRM from it.
