For all I know, hiring one might be cost prohibitive and the book may not be released at all.
I tend to be a lot more generous with those books. I might tell the publisher, but I don't return the book. Maybe I'm part of the problem.

Much the same here. I will let the author/publisher know about the errors but I won't return the book. If really annoying and I have the time, I will correct the errors in my personal copy. As you mentioned, for a lot of the older mid-listers, I'm just happy to see an ebook version.
