Well, it is 12 years of a quarterly journal. ~48 quarterly journals, ~100 pages each. I just jammed them all together and decided to tackle them as one big chunk (much easier to catch typos/common errors across a set of them, and easier to make it look consistent. The same applies to Volumes of a work too, I typically tackle all sets in a Volume at the same time.)

Heh, I will figure out all the fixed hyphens later, and add them to some sort of list. Toxaris's ePUB Tools has a whole Search/Replace tool which seems like it would be QUITE good for stuff like this.
I will be running that tool through some thorough testing too. (Already pointed out a few minor fixes which Toxaris implemented).

I am doing a spell check and SEE a nearby error eg. Br oken word.
I fix it (I do remember to do a refresh, but not immediately).

Yep, this is exactly how I do it too. I can say I NEVER touch the "change selected word to" button, and do all of the fixes manually, while quickly scanning the surrounding area for any other errors I might stumble across.
