acquire & install your tools : calibre, sigil ( free programs), drm plugin for calibre ( also free)
then
1. add book to calibre library - drag & drop from Kindle documents folder while Usb connected. DRM plug-in will kick in automatically.
2. convert the de-drm'd mobi to epub with calibre.
3. use sigil ( epub editor- v easy to use) to correct typos etc.
4. convert epub back to mobi with calibre & send back to Kindle.
PS sell checkers are not a lot of use with Novels as most contain hundreds of proper nouns ( people & place names ) which spell checkers will flag as "errors".
I find it best to read on e-reader with a notepad handy & jot down any annoyances. then do a repair on the book once it's read ( if I'm likely to ever want to read it again )
there is a free spellchecker that works with sigil ( called microspell) but I found it awkward to use & quit using it.
another route is to use MS word in place of sigil & convert mobi to/from .rtf ( with calibre) instead of to/from epub. that is a more drastic conversion though, so you can lose table of contents & lose some headings & margins structure.
PS the forum does not allow an idiots guide to drm stripping to be posted, so you have to follow hints in other threads until you get hold of what you need.
