I once read an otherwise OK book where the village policeman frequently "peddled" his bicycle.
No doubt he was supplementing his wages... Yes, that sort of thing takes me out of the story as well.

OCR errors also get me - even more so when I know the paper book well. There was one ebook I came across where the hero’s name was spelt 3 different ways along with numerous other OCR errors. That one was painful to read.
