Those look like OCR issues, which are publisher responsibilities. amazon does not "transcribe" or proof read, and there is no reason to expect them to do so, any more than every bookstore should read every title that they stock.

When such errors are that extensive and reported to amazon, amazon will issue a warning to the publisher to fix them or have the book pulled from amazon.
