Authors who cannot spell or render a grammatically correct sentence.
Pretentious attempts to write dialogue without quotation marks nor with the tag of who said what.
Out of context sex scenes. I can handle a little in a book. But if a sex scene starts on page 26 and by page 187 they are STILL doin' it, I'm gonna delete the book on site (or throw it out if it's a DTB).
Graphic violence.
Characters who I wind up liking in a story but then they aren't mentioned again, ever. What happened to them? Just because they're minor doesn't mean you have to reduce them to extras.
Turnoffs to e-books, are covers, which when browsing thumbnails in cover mode on my kobo, are indistinguishable blobs! (not a deal breaker, but I don't want to have to change mode, just to see what I am looking at.)
