Quick and Dirty Spellcheck?
I'm not generally picky about this sort of thing but I have a few books in mobi that have some really glaring errors in them that are obviously a result of OCR.

Many of them could be caught with a spellchecker. What would be the easiest and fastest way to do this? I was experimenting with the Calibre edit mode this morning and it doesn't appear to offer spell check.

Thanks!

So like this?
  1. Covert MOBI to EPUB
  2. Open EPUB in Sigil and run spell check.
  3. Covert EPUB back to MOBI.
