I wish Kindle/Nook/Sony/Etc had this option, but in the Libronix Digital Library System (Logos Bible Software), you have the option of highlighting a portion of text in an eBook, and clicking a "typo" button. It gives you a little window to add notes, correct the text, etc, and then it e-mails the publisher/software company. They log these and release corrections on a pretty regular basis.

I decided to add pictures for clarity (no typos in the selected text). I wonder if the e-readers could pull this off--it seems like a strong possibility. Amazon could use the same window they use for selecting and searching text--you could highlight it and press the spacebar and hit, "Submit typo."

EDIT: Just submitted this idea to Amazon.
