I downloaded the ePub version of Doris Stevens' "Jailed for Freedom" from GoogleBooks and converted it to Mobi to read on my Kindle. Great book by the way! About the fight by suffragettes for the right of women to vote and their struggles with Woodrow Wilson. Amazon sells this book in kindle format, but it does not have the photographs that were in the original book. None of the other versions (Gutenberg etc.) has the photos either.

Because the Googlebook version was scanned in, there are mistakes due to the OCR. Is there software I can use to correct the text just for my own use? I own a Mac.

Thank you!

Expand the Mobi book to its HTML source (using tompe's free tools); you can then edit the HTML (with any text editor), then rebuild the Mobi file (again with tompe's tools).
