A good idea on any book is to do find on the following possibilities and if any exist go through and use find to find every 1 and change it where appropriate. Remember to do this one at a time and not globally as global find and replace may cause its own chaos.

1 am
1 will
1 have
1 was
1 can
1 could
1 must

Basically all you are doing is finding out if this pattern exists. If it does you just have to go through and find each 1 separately. It actually goes pretty fast at least on a braillenote.

1 instead of I is particularly annoying to the bookshare user community. Volunteers cringe less at such things I suppose. This is a great fix to a book.
