It's most likely the <br/> in the span that's the problem. You need to use prober styles in Word. Don't just highlight some text and click something in the toolbar. Word can make a real mess if you don't use it correctly. That mess then becomes a messy eBook that is not so easy to clean up. You should have clean code in your eBook.

One other thing, there's a plugin for Calibre's eBook editor to allow you to validate using epubcheck 4.0.2. Install that and it will help you not get rejected when online shops validate your eBook.
