With the latest generation of Sony readers you can mark the mistake (and preferrably a few words before and after to make searching easier), put in an annotation, and export an RTF file with a list containing the text snippets you marked and the annotations you put in, which you could then email to the author or publisher.

Digital files can be searched easily, so if you copy out the whole sentence including the mistake, or at least a few words to make a phrase not found elsewhere in the book, no page numbers are needed.
