I wish ereader's would allow editing too...for just that reason...proofreading. But I have been using the surface to do the job for the last couple of years. The process works out very well. However, I do all (99%) of my editing with Sigil. I could read from the preview pane - although now I am so used to seeing HTML markup that I don't really "see" it and I just read from the code view and make all my edits as I go. (reminds me of a movie a watched once...
)
FWIW - I used to put all my books into a single html file, but was really disappointed when some readers would bog down, or crash completely, trying to open the larger books. I used a quick search/replace (search: <h2> replace: <hr class="sigil_split_marker" /><h2>) and then the automated Split at Markers (F6) function, and Generate Table of Contents (Ctrl-T) function; Sigil does all the work - creating the content.opf and toc.ncx for me. Literally only takes a couple of seconds. Now I've gotten used to each chapter having a file, and it has really helped me to keep the books organized much better.
Cheers,
