I don't know what you are referring to. I'm talking about just reading a book on my Kindle. There is no "change to" function on a Kindle. If I disassemble the book back into HTML, I can see the words as originally included, not a function of the software. OCR software, when used to generate an ebook, is just a first step. You still have to proofread and correct. The publisher did not, in the book I was reading.
