How do I report minor errors or make corrections?

I've downloaded an eBook in .lrf format and have found several minor errors. How should I report these, or is there an easy way for me to make corrections?

WDE.

did you download the book from mobileread ? if yes, you could send a pm to the book creator or post a message in the book thread. i don't think you can easily correct and lrf file without having the sourcefile.

Yes, I downloaded it from MR. It is the current book under review in the "Book and a Movie and Chowda" thread.

Yes it is? With all of the different pagination/size choices, what would be the best way to report such errors? The originator may not have a PRS-XXX to view it on, although they may have access to the desktop version.

eg. On page 5, in medium font, the word "for" should be "from". (This is just a hypothetical error. Would this be sufficient enough information to report to the originator?)

WDE.

I would provide more context, as in:

In chapter 5: "they hid for their parents" should be "they hid from their parents".

OK, thanks. There a lot of small chapters in this book and this would be a good way to report any errors.

WDE.

Note that the book creator should have the sources, and it would be quite easy for him/her to just search the text to find any sentence you provide, so giving the exact location of the typo is not as important as giving enough context.
