Bug rendering PDF vector graphics on Kindle DX

Today I got my Kindle DXG, first a big praise to Amazon for shipping the device within three days to Germany! I wanted a DX a long time, but could only justify it with the recent price drop and the better screen.

But now for an interesting issue I ran into. The rendering of some vector graphics in PDFs has a bug. And it is the same bug I ran into with my iRex DR800SG, see this thread (you can find also a sample PDF linked there, to reproduce the issue on your Kindle). Enclosed is a photo of the diagram on my KDXG.

So it seems to be a bug in the Adobe Reader Mobile SDK, in an Adobe blog post it is also confirmed that Amazon uses the SDK.

iRex did fix this in a firmware update, so I think it is no big deal for Amazon to also fix it.

Is there any "official" instance at Amazon where I can report such bugs, so that they know about this and could correct the odd behaviour in a forthcoming firmware release?
