I greatly dislike "smart" punctuation in general, and now it's causing issues when I send books to my new Kobo Clara Colour. Apostrophes appear to have extra space after them (not present in the book editor), which makes it very hard to read. Currently, I've resorted to opening each of my (700+) ebooks in the editor and applying some saved searches to replace the "smart" punctuation, but it would be so much easier if I could just hit a hotkey and automatically fix it. Is there any way to do that, especially without opening every single book?
