that's my first question on the Forum :-)

I bought an e-book on Amazon.com, Kindle format. Now it has in the text some errors and I would like to report that to Amazon.com staff to eventually get a correct copy. How can I do?
Amazon.com Kindle site and my account page is very crowded... I couldn't find the right link (if there exist one...)
Can you HELP me?

Thanks to aaalll of you. Greetings!
here's what i do for that issue:

1. strip the drm
2. import the drm-free mobi file into calibre
3. convert it to an rtf file, if it errors when i try to open it with openoffice i reconvert to txt.
4. in openoffice i edit the file and save it as an .odt. then import that file into calibre
5. convert the odt into a mobi.

there's a learning curve to editing it properly in openoffice. if you attempt this method feel free to ask questions.
