And it does matter, how much one spends. This obviously directly links to the number of books, apps, movies, ... one would have to check for possible flaws. Today, for example, I would have to check 17 Android apps, 5 iTunes TV episodes, 7 Kindle eBooks, 3 iOS apps and 11 PS Vita Games. Lots of these I won't touch for weeks. Until then, my backlog will have added up to hundreds of items. And I simply wouldn't want to end up on vacation with apps that aren't running, books that have formatting errors or TV episodes lacking the ending...
Years ago I've enjoyed, converting books, editing metadata and such.
Today, quite frankly, I simply would consider it a waste of time. That's why I hire specialists, that's why I buy from pros.

I understand being annoyed if a book has obvious OCR errors, is missing a chapter or part thereof, has inconsistent breaks here and there and such, but for a damaged cover image, I believe you've gone overboard - it does not detract from reading the book, and can easily be fixed. That said, everybody has different priorities in life; book covers are certainly not at the top of mine. Enjoy your book.
