I have seen this sort of thing and yes, it bothers me. It was an author I like a on a favourite book I still own the print copy of. The protagonist's name was spelt 4 different ways throughout the book, there were numerous proof-reading errors. This was a legitimate purchase from Amazon, and it got a bad review from me for the proof-reading (my advice was to stick to the print edition).

Some self-pubbed works also suffer from this. Here I suspect the author of being too cheap to pay for proper editing or too arrogant to bother and I won't touch them with a bargepole subsequently.
