Yes, but far from all mistakes are like this. You’d need to manually scan through a potentially long book. Fine if you do it occasionally for some books to contribute to Libgen, but you’d go insane if you try to do it to your whole library for personal use.
Edit: I meant not repeated and more or less obvious mistakes like these, rather those like “one term got mistaken for another real word”, which you won’t catch automatically.
I’ve been doing it for years to my personal books I download that I can’t find in ePub, I have no issues with my sanity. I also usually do this before I read the book, and double check my editing as I read it. 98% of the time I caught all the errors that were not present in the original text (it copies typos perfectly) .
Well, in the linked comment, on the second line where it says to import the converted epub into editing software like sigil,there was a link to a piece of software called sigil, it’s for editing EPUB files, and it’s called sigil. It’s the second link in the comment that takes you to the EPUB editor software called sigil.
I have been tempted to upload them for others to use, but all the authors that I’ve done it for are really small niche community authors, and I do not want to take support away from them.
Just because I’m a broke ass bitch and have decided to re-copy them however I see fit for my personal consumption, doesn’t necessarily mean I want to become a bootlegger publisher.

Cool, I just don’t have patience to scan through a 1000-page book prior to reading) Do you upload these for others to use? And again - what software?
