hi, i noticed alot of my books that i have downloaded around the web ( bit torrent)
have tons and tons of spelling mistakes or missing letters in some of the words.

is there a way that i can can open the book on my mac and edit it, then save it and view the changes?


thanks
 
Lol

That's because a lot of warez ebooks are scanned in from hard copies, then OCR'd (converting an image of text, so actual text) without being proof read. Though most ebok DRM can be broken now, so that's likely to change.

Anyway, just buy the damn books if you find spelling mistakes annoying.

Just work it out or pay for books.
