I recently edited and formatted four OpenLibrary books by one of my favorite authors. I wanted to make sure there were no remaining errors in the books, so I read each of them using the Calibre editor. While reading, I was able to correct all the remaining errors (in the middle section of the editor) and then hit F9 to save the file each time (F9 is my "save" hotkey set up in Calibre's editor preferences).

Before I started reading each book, I highlighted all the HTML files for the paragraphs, right-clicked on them, and then chose to merge them all into the top file.

After I completed each book, I converted the file, so the HTML files would be recreated.

Before I did each conversion, I did a regex find for all the lines for page-breaks (such as, blahblah_pb(\d+)...) and removed them all.

This worked well, even though it was more of a hassle than just reading the books in ADE and ignoring the errors. Doing this is the only way I know to be able to correct errors as I read the book.
