Proof Reading Tools in eBook Reader and Edit Book

WizkidTX · 07-22-2014, 04:13 PM

I would like to suggest that you add proof reading tools to the eBook Reader so that when reading an eBook the user/reader may add proofing marks (Shortcuts in code) within the eBook so that finding misspelled words, or grammatical errors, or other errors he/she may mark the word or passage within the eBook itself for later review. These marks should be accessible in the Edit Book tool and easily findable to facilitate the correction of mistakes or errors.

You can just edit the book and offer it as a proposed revision. calibre has a diff tool you can use to Compare Books and see what changed.

I don't see this as a core feature, but I think it would do well as a plugin.
