but maybe it's also an error in formatting or something? guess i'll have to learn how to edit this on calibre by myself.
It must be pretty bad if you're taking time from the book to post here every so often. I hate the books that are really bad, an occasional error I can skip over and keep reading but when they keep showing up you notice them more and it ends up taking away from the book. It bothers me that a lot of the authors seem to think that editing is not that important. They could be the best writer in the world and produce a crappy book due to lack of editing.

A polite email certainly couldn't hurt, I don't know if I'd go so far as to list all of the errors you've found but you could certainly point out there were a lot of them and that it detracted from your enjoyment of the story. Any writer worth mentioning should thank you and take your comments to heart.

Hope the book gets better for you.

I agree... now lesbian vampires, that's a whole different story, much more acceptable (to me at least)
