When I open a .mobi book, it take a long time, and show "could not open file"

this is the message after foliate --verbose

Hi @zzzsyyy - I did tried opening .mobi file and it is working fine for me. Try the following solution and see if that works for you.

Thank you and the solution worked -- I can open the book but there's an err shows on the first page

This page contains the following errors:

error on line 805 at column 12: Entity 'hoge' not defined
error on line 995 at column 25: Entity 'hoge' not defined
error on line 2071 at column 34: EntityRef: expecting ';'
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

This is the e-book file if needed here Merci d'avance

Tried opening the attached book and got the exact same error on the first page as you got. However, the rest of the book loads till the 43rd page.
