I have found for this to work in calibre editor it has to be search: I([a-z])
in order to pick up the following letter.
AND even though you are indicating small letters [a-z], it will pickup capital and lowercase unless case sensitive is also checked. In this way it is not exactly as you would expect.

That will still pick up every single instance of a capital "I" in the book, as long as it isn't the actual word "I".
If you leave off the captured "([a-z])" then you would get the same results (except for the word "I"), and could replace with "l".
Much better to look for anything-but-punctuation
before the "I"... as I did in post #2.
And
negative lookbehind means you don't have to capture anything, you can just replace the letter itself.
