I have created some books with the firefox / palemoon extension "GrabMyBooks" in epub-format. After this I imported the epub to calibre and convert the book to the mobi-format.
With Calibre Version 5.10 I get this error (version 5.09 is fine):

Conversion error: Failed: Convert book 1 of 1 (Between The Pain And The Fury)
