Nothing takes me out of the moment of reading a good book than running into those types of errors. My brain instantly starts screaming "how could they miss an entire word in that sentence" or "the period is missing" and on and on.
It's true that OCR is better than it ever was, but it's still not perfect and it will never replace proofreading by an intelligent human being. And I don't mean glancing at pages here and there, it must be read cover to cover by someone who can pay attention to details.
It's one thing if you get it from Project Gutenberg (although I've seen some very high quality books from there that would put some publishers to shame). But that publishers charge for books where it's evident they weren't even read by a monkey just outrages me.
I'd immediately return it for a full refund.
