A purchased book? Never. In fact the last book I just read I was so annoyed at the number of errors (well over 200, didn't count them), that I sent an email to the publisher (they stupidly asked for corrections to be sent to them).
When I read, errors just jump out at me and I find it very distracting to the flow of reading. I gave up trying to ignore the errors and now I just make a highlight when I find them and fix my copy of the book later whenever I get to it.
A few errors I can live with. Over 100 errors I find appalling that someone actually put a book out like that. And got paid for it!
