I'm finding a lot of errors within sentences, mainly due to poorly done 'cut & paste' editing. Also typos that the spell checker can't find, for instance 'will' instead of 'with'.
Is there an easy way to check for these errors within Calibre? [Would prefer not to export the files into another program to fix and then have to convert back.]

Yes use regex:
Edit book Search & replace
All about using regular expressions in calibre
And the cheat sheet:
Quick reference for regexp syntax
I recommend bookmarking/or saving a local copy of this page.
A ctr+n will give you a count of how many matches your search gets before you do a replace.
