Note that the Kindle won't read doc or RTF files, so you'll have to convert them. Calibre can convert RTF files to Mobi (Kindle's native format), or you can e-mail doc files to your Kindle and they will be automagically converted.

Personally, I just highlight when I find a problem, then copy the My Clippings.txt file off the Kindle. I do a search on the original document to find the error.

One thing I've found is that the text-to-speech function is a useful extra for proof-reading. Some mistakes are much more obvious when spoken out loud.
