MobiPocket's ePub to MOBI isn't very robust. Some ePubs are essentially OEBs, i.e. based on the same source format as LIT and MOBI, and these convert ok. Any ePub that uses new features of the format are likely to either fail or produce sub-optimal results. Part of this is due to features lacking in the MOBI format, but part is due to relatively little work being put into ePub conversion by MobiPocket. There is nothing we can do about the former, but llasram is working on an any2mobi for Calibre which should eventually (i.e. after extensive testing and refining) do as good a job as possible with ePub to MOBI conversion. See Mobipocket output, and this beta release of any2epub seems to work ok on Zigzags of Treachery.
