Error when converting from mobi to epub
Hi, sorry if this question has already been asked but here's my problem.
I'm trying to convert a Kindle ebook to an epub. I used mobidedrm to convert the .azw to a .mobi, and then I try to use Calibre to convert from mobi to epub. This process worked fine for all but 2 books, which give me an error, the output is: Code:

That error typically means the files have been damaged, usually during dedrming (basically the error sayas there are inapprpriate bits of data in the file that are preventing ti from being parsed).
