The only changes I really made was the stuff that didn't scan properly, some spelling errors, but nothing to change the authors style.

I than converted it back into epub, using calibre, and voila a book that is easier to read!

Going to txt (ASCII) will lose all font styling (italic, bold, sub/superscipts)
IMHO not the best way to proceed with a working book (That is a last resort for a book, so damaged that it can't even be fixed with Calibre/Sigil).
