There are two sides to this issue.
First is the author, I want to assist them but to what extent. If the errors are minor and few I let them pass, but if serious and the story is affected I'm upset and want them to make changes for future readers.
Second are future readers, they deserve to be aware of my reaction and opinion of the quality of the book. I don't see anything wrong with mentioning the editing in a review if it is not overdone.
My personal experience is that reader reviews are almost nonexistent. I wish more readers would take the time and effort to post reviews to provide feed back as to what they like or don't like. I recently had over seven hundred downloads on a book and have seen only two reviews.
