Sloppiness in Text of Antonia Fraser's Loves of Louis XIV,

This review is from: Love and Louis XIV: The Women in the Life of the Sun King (Kindle Edition)
I find Antonia Fraser's look at the mistresses and wives of Louis XIV most fascinating and interesting. However I am put off by the sloppiness of proof-reading in the Kindle edition. The most egregious example is the confusion in "Duc" and "due." Someone irresponsibly seems to have used the spell check to mindlessly replace all "due to" to "Duc to." There must be well over 50 times that this happens in the text. Why can't Antonia Fraser or her literary agent provide a corrected version to Amazon for sale?
