Search & replace TEXT
I'm wondering if there is a way to search & replace text within a ebook text using Calibre?
I always run into books that have been scanned OCR and there are TYPOs throughout the book. An example is in some of the Jeffery Deaver Books ... there is a character who's name is Thom (T-h-o-m) which almost always is translated to Thorn if you look close you will see it's being translated to T-h-o-r-n. I would love to be able to fix those kind of things before I convert and save to my Kindle. any easy solutions out there? |

Use an ebook editor for that, like SIgil and then convert the edited EPUB file to MOBI in calibre
