I have an ebook that I am converting from epub to mobi for my Kindle. I have been able to get it edited like I want using Sigil, but have one little irritation. Throughout the entire book there are no spaces after the periods. Is there a way to either do a search and replace or some other fomatting that would add a space so that sentences done run together?

I tried a simple search and replace for the . and then replacing with . and then a space. In Sigil it stopped responding, when I did that in the convert it just went haywire.

I'm sure there must be some way to do this, but I haven't figured it out. Perhaps there is a way to alter the css?

Any help would be appreciated. I haven't edited many books before.
