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?)

Which looks more like an attempt at dialect.
