Editing the text inside Calibre

Well, I create my own epubs.

But I also check the final book on the hardware reader. And sometimes there are errors.

So far I was not able to find a solution, google wasn't helpful at all, also the answer is not here - or I wasn't able to find one.

I see lots of images that show an entry in the contextual menu (right-click) labelled Edit book. I only have Tweak book. My version is 0.9.4, which was the last I've seen on its webpage.

Anyway, choosing Tweak, it opens the epub as a ZIP folder, which is filled with dozens and sometimes hundreds of XHTML files. A search/replace for a regular typo is wasting the time.

The other solution, to edit the original file, means to readd every time the file to calibre (deleting the older one before), modify all the settings each time (because I hope this is the final version, not because I am masochistic), run convert (that's fast), attach the eReader, copy the book and so on.

I am looking for a method to perform all these editing steps in calibre, on the book I've imported. I must be blind no to see something that is in my humble opinion a very important feature.

So far I've found a workaround, but IMHO it shouldn't be a workaround but a real solution.

Thankx for any hint.
