This is something I've never seen before--I have a problem with the text in It Happened at the Fair by Deeanne Gist. I've been listening to the audiobook from the library and started to read the ebook where I left off. All over the place there are words in italics with vowels missing, like they were scanning errors that never got corrected. It happens frequently enough that it takes you out of the story. My copy is from Kobo and I checked the sample from the Kindle store as well--sure enough, same errors. My first question is if I could use some kind of spell check to correct the file in Calibre? Then, whether I've been able to correct the errors or not should I contact the author, the publisher, or both?

update--I figured out how to use the spell check, the only problem is that I don't always know what the misspelled work should be! (for example--bbbedddr?)
