I am sure I responded in your other thread. I guess that thread was removed as a duplicate.
Open the ebook in the Calibre editor and check the spacing there. Is there additional spacing?
I guess whoever edited the ebook made a boo-boo with a regex and added an extra space.
You could remove it with a regex, something like...
Find ... ’\s(\w)\s
Replace ... ’\1 (with a space after the \1)
You might need to modify it so it takes into account commas or periods after the s.
Check the type of apostrophe in the regex matches the one used by the ebook.
