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.
ePubs are a zipped set of files, including HTML text. Change the extension on your .ePub to .zip, and expand the folder by double-clicking it. You can now edit the HTML, perhaps comparing with the Gutenberg version. Once you're happy with the text, re-zip using my Applescript, https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=55681 and then re-convert to Mobipocket.
