Amazon is simply saying that their conversion process (which can be from multiple formats, including Word, Mobi, etc, to their Mobi/AZW files--I suspect even Mobi files are re-converted through their system) can result in typos and formatting errors caused by glitches during upload--in other words, their data transfer isn't perfect. And finally, they leave it up to the author to check his material once it's up for proper formatting and display, page by page as required. This was my experience when I had books in the Kindle system.
