How can I convert xps files to mobi?

It sounds to me like this is a format that you print to, from things like Microsoft Word 2007 or higher. It is supposed to be a substitute for PDF. I would suggest obtaining the original Word doc, and saving it as filtered HTML or something more readily transferable.

I've never heard of a program to convert from xps to mobi, probably because xps is so little used, and is a print format, not a text format. It is supposed to be zip'ed XML, so you could try unzipping it and looking at the contents to see how close to something useful the content is.

Try CALIBRE

I see several online services to convert XPS to PDF (quick google search), but that may not gain you very much since PDF can be quite problematic to convert from as well.
