Definitely a major factor in my purchases as well. I can see numerous well formatted, error free news stories and blog posts in a day, but when a sample chapter of a book shows a complete failure of English grammar I remove it from consideration immediately.
People that can write and edit are out there, why some publishers fail to hire them is odd.
