In these cases, I either read through the errors, or if they bother me too much to do this, I go onto something else and may or may not buy or borrow another copy in the future.

Luckily I rarely find a book that is ugly these days. When I started reading ebooks 2 out of three from reputable sources were still a bit on the unpleasant side.

It actually is fairly easy to fix the majority of a book by simple CSS editing. Calibre's eBook editor would do just fine to do that editing. Sometimes I look at an eBook in more detail if I think it has some other than simple formatting. I don't like when they do stupid things like making offset text in a smaller font size. Or they use settings that make the offset text to much offset.
