EPUB file won't convert to MOBI

[lisadeerest]

Attachment 172879Hi there,

I have one epub file that will not convert to MOBI. I am very new to calibre and not very knowledgeable when it comes to this kind of thing. Is this possible to fix or should I just leave it and read it from my laptop?

1. I have attached the epub for reference

2. No log

3. No output file

4. Th conversion error message:

Spoiler:
