Typically authors can't see their own mistakes. Though why didn't her proofreader catch it. Or did the cheap proofreader introduce the errors.
I use the term proofreader lightly.
Thing is if Amazon is contacting the author, it means there are multiple reports and many errors.

Answering other poster now.
Amazon doesn't go through the book to find the errors and I don't think the report button includes a space for the actual errors.
I think that Amazon assumes that authors can um what's the word I'm looking for, oh yeah write. Alas I think some perform a rite and think their words are right.

Barbara,
I totally agree that authors should actually make sure their book is readable before clicking that upload button.
If they all did that, there would be about 2 million less books on Amazon.
