Unless you
really, really want this book, ask Amazon for a refund and move on to something formatted properly.
If you do
really, really want the book, still complain bitterly to Amazon about the poor formatting, but the way to fix it is like this.
Use a text editor that understands regular expressions. Search for something like:
_([a-z ]+?)_
and replace with
<i>\1</i>
And then check for any underscores that haven't been replaced. The first regular expression says "seach for an underscore and then the smallest number of letter and spaces possible until another underscore, and remember the text between the underscores". The second says "replace what was found by <i> followed by the first bit of remembered text, followed by </i>"

How can I accomplish my goal without manually replacing everything one at a time?
