Whenever there are typos and bad formatting, leave an honest review on Amazon/B&N/Smashwords/etc. and help out your fellow readers. I've been reviewing ebooks for my blog for a few months now, and while I read books for the content, if a book has too many errors, I'll include that in my review. Less than 5 errors in a 80,000 book won't bother me, a bit beyond that makes me go eeenhh, and when it hits 10 or more makes me write "This book needs another editing pass." I've received review requests for books with bad line spacing and formatting in the first page of the sample... I told the authors about it, but many book bloggers would just ignore those. I've been reading a lot of perfectly polished ebooks, so I've been happy so far, but yeah, I try to help out with my book reviews on which ones need another proofreading pass.
