I was checking some books that had gone into Calibre via the K4MobiDeDRM plug in and noticed several text errors in one of them, which are not there in the original DRM version.

To demonstrate what is actually going on:
with the original ebook, search for the text that is being re-produced "incorrectly" after the conversion and see what the search returns.
Then actually type in the mispelled word(s) - still in the original ebook - and see what
that search returns.
The text errors are in the original ebook... you just don't
see them, because the glyph data that is generated from the horrible OCR has been proofread and corrected before you see it.
Unfortunately, that glyph data is not very handy for converting into a different, reflowable format. So the plugin uses the included original OCR text (Amazon includes it for full-text searching)... which can be quite atrocious, but that blame lies entirely with Amazon and
not the plugin.
