I've wondered the
same exact thing...

I have read several books in the past month that have "alot" (sic) of errors like this. Yes, they are indie books, but I don't think it's too much to expect all published books to be almost completely free of blatant errors (if not completely free of them). The one I'm reading right now has had a noticeable amount of errors as well, and I'm only on page 50.
I actually changed the review policy on my blog to mention the fact that I will comment on excessive grammatical errors if I see them. I look past the first few, but if they continue, I factor that in. After all, if I'm spending more time proofing it in my head than I am enjoying the story, then it's worthy of note.
