But no, please don't send me a copy of a copyrighted book. I'll concede that the mistakes were very likely in the original. I just think it's important to be able verify these things using the absolute original, rather than processed (however much you've come to trust the process) versions.
I've been using the DRM removal software since it first came out and I've never noticed any sort of errors that resembled these errors. So I highly doubt it was that. I think it was poor workmanship by the people who made the eBook.
