Is there a mechanism in place to report and have addressed typos occurring in books released in Vyrso format?

I assume "Yes", the same mechanism in any Logos resource... You must do this through L5.
Vyrso resources are "bare bones" and generally come "as is" from the publisher. Logos doesn't do the same maintenance work on Vyrso books that they do on Logos edition resources.
Is the issue really a typo, or something else? Care to give some examples?

Thanks Alabama I should have been more clear with my question. I was reading The Portent on my Fire and wondered if there was a way to report the typo straight from your reading device. You have answered the question and I thank you. I will report the typo from my laptop as you have indicated. I'm sorry there is no direct way of handling the error. Below is a screenshot the Note icon marks the word "chip" which I believe should read "chin."

Serendipity. My hand inadvertently contacted the Share To icon which got me thinking; could I email the typo to logosbugs@logos.com?

could I email the typo to logosbugs@logos.com

I am not sure if there is an email address or not. It seems to me that I heard of one... but logosbugs doesn't seem like the right one. I think the best bet is from within L5... but it isn't convenient when you are on mobile. This is a frequent complaint.

On another note: Isn't the book you are using one actually published by Logos? If so, there is a greater chance of getting the typo fixed... I would think. Perhaps you could contact the imprint directly: http://kirkdalepress.com/contact/

Complete aside, and probably doesn't apply here... I read recently that some publishers actually create typos on purpose to track the illegal trading of ebooks. The typos become markers making them easier to track. Who would have thought? [:S]

By a fortunate happenstance I have come across a selection in Settings which allows Report typos to be checked (active) and unchecked (blocked). This is the situation for my Amzn Fire HD; it appears however that my iphone 5S lacks this capability I find this to be unfortunate, something that I hope will be addressed with an update.

Before this discovery I did send error reports to logosbugs@logos.com I don't know what became of them. I wish I had kept a record but alas I failed to do so. In the meantime I will try to recall the location of at least one of these errors so I can give an account of the facility of this functionality. Perhaps those of you with other devices can report whether or not you have this feature on board i.e., Android or ipad.
