The way I look at it is if it is an indie author, I know they cannot afford an editor, so we the readers can act as an editor for them, helping them improve their works. I mean, if I like someone's writing, I only want to see it get better, right?
If it is someone with an editor, I still point it out, because it was stuff that should have been caught. Me and my girlfriend were recently talking about this in relation to continuity, comparing book series to comics. The Southern Vampire Mysteries (Sookie Stackhouse books) are making a lot of money, more than enough to have good editors and continuity managers, yet there are quite a few problems in them. I guess I hope that if enough people point out problems in books that have no excuse, future releases will have more attention paid to making them better.
