Peakcrew,
If the software in the ereader can open, buffer into memory, strip HTML tags, then render and format the text for the display, editing it and saving the newly corrected HTML shouldn't be a huge step... unless the software was designed specifically to allow only for import and disallow writing. Concerning DRM issues that wouldn't necessarily surprise me.
More likely, no one thought of it, or DRM muddied the water enough that no one wanted to get involved or just thought it too minor an issue as most people perform an automatic context based replacement in their minds when reading -that's one of the issues that makes proofing your own work(letters, papers, emails) difficult, you tend to "add-in" entire missing words because you know what you meant to express and often don't even notice the absence of entire words, usually shorter words or articles unless paying particular attention. The mind sees what it expects to see, and fills in the missing blanks -not necessarily what is. We're much more likely to notice an out of context word.
