I experience this rarely, but I recently picked up a copy of One Hundred Dollar Misunderstanding that was clearly OCRed and never proofread.
The story is told from two points of view: a white college student with $100 burning a hole in his pocket, and the black prostitute he visits. We hear each scene as narrated by one and then the other, to great comedic effect.
Unfortunately, the formatting was so bad that there were no chapter breaks, and the POV would sometimes change right in the middle of a paragraph. There was never any real problem distinguishing who was speaking, but to leap from one to the other in the middle of a paragraph was always disturbing.
If I'd paid more than $1 for it, I'd have sent it back.
