ePub won't convert to mobi

I've just received "Japan by Train" published by Japan Experience in ePub format. I can add it to my Calibre library, but trying to convert it to MOBI so I can add it to my Kindle library FAILS at 47%. Using the latest version of Calibre, get no error messages, just a conversion stuck at 47%. The file size is ~ 8.3mb. I've remove it from my library, downloaded it again, and get the same result. There's a .pdf version, and while conversion goes to completion, the result is quite unsatisfactory.

Any ideas?

Here's the last few lines of the conversion detail:

Parsing OEBPS/2Guide_99_184-12.xhtml ...
Reading TOC from NCX...
Merging user specified metadata...
Detecting structure...
Flattening CSS and remapping font sizes...

47% is the 'Big-long-grind' point. It can run for HOURS, and even over a DAY.

Try AZW3 (mostly a EPUB in a wrapper)
