I am both sensitive to errors as a volunteer for Project Gutenberg, and forgiving of errors in that I can ignore most of them when reading for content. I also know how easy it is to overlook errors when reading rather than proof-reading.
The real issue with notifying an author of errors is twofold. One is trying to mark the errors for one complete submission to the author's attention rather than sending multiple e-mails over a period of time. The other is the constant problem of locating and referencing the error within a page number-less environment that exists and varies with different eReader formats and font size choices. These factors currently discourage me from taking the time and effort to bring errors to the author's attention.
