1 star reviews based on errors - yes, absolutely. Poor formatting and numerous errors will make a book unreadable for me, no matter how good the story.
I agree with Harry on this one. Some people wouldn't even look at the reviews if they see the overall is low. What I tend to do is rate on the story but add there were so many errors that reading was difficult.

I tend to read a few of each star review. I have found reading the 1 star is as helpful as reading the 5 stars.
