Yes, thank you, Harry. I had meant to mention that, but I'd also hoped that my clarification about what happens, when Amazon receives a LOT of notifications about errors, would be sufficient. Alas, poor Hamlet...

Well, i tryed.

I'm having some trouble understanding you, but if you are saying that you understand that Amazon does this, not you, good. And, no, there isn't an Amazon proofing bureau email address that you could use as some sort of way to get a report that Amazon would "ignore," using THEIR bandwidth and THEIR devices and THEIR proprietary firmware.

About that mobi-asin identifier, can i create a personal(random) and enable at least this option or when trying to share Amazon takes it as a error because hasn't that book on database?
I am considering the chance of kindle connect directly to Facebook without the approval of the Amazon.

NO, you cannot. I mean, sure, you could create a fake ASIN, but for what purpose? What would happen? There wouldn't be a link, and that means that Amazon--ONLY--would receive this "fake" error report. And how would the people GET the book?
I don't think you're thinking this through. And I have NO idea what your sentence about Facebook means. No, of course the book itself isn't going to connect directly to Facebook, without Amazon enabling that functionality, which happens--please pay attention--in the "publishing workflow." That means that you've created your book, uploaded it, and put it on SALE at Amazon. That's how it's done.
And if you get a ton of replies, about errors in the book--do you really want that to go to FACEBOOK? Where god and everyone could see that your book was mistake-ridden?
I think that you should consider putting your book up on Wattpad, first. That's a forum/website for new authors. You can put your book up, and the readers will report your errors to you, make comments, etc. It's a bit like a critique group. If you are youngish, you'll fit right in, as the majority of Wattpad users are youthful.
Good luck. I cannot emphasize enough that EXPECTING that you will have "a lot" of errors is a very poor way to publish a book.
