Generally I have liked them. I can't recall a particular style of quotes or dashes etc. putting me of although it seems to me I have read more than a few that were 'different'
Of course most of these were paper books because I have been reading paper books almost 20 times as long as I have been reading ebooks. Would that make a difference in perception perhaps?

I think it would be harder to read non-conventional stuff on an ereader. I don't have problems with double spaces between paragraphs (which happens for ereaders for some books or shorts and there are various technical reasons for it) but the lack of quotes might make it very unreadable for me on an ereader.
The books that didn't have quotes that I did read were back in the paper days. I haven't come across any on ereader.
