Can anyone help me? I am attaching the file as well.

[rcuadro]

I tried it and got the same error...

[kovidgoyal]

That file has lots and lots of invalid markup, specifically namespaced tags with undeclared namespaces. The XML parser calibre uses can't handle that. And because of the large amounts of it, writing a workaround is not possible.

[yessirrom]

This file works perfectly in mobipocket. Any advice on how to fix the errors.

If you can convert it to html then maybe import it into Sigil to go to epub? I haven't used Sigil yet though.
