Like you, I'm not going to take the time to edit something I'm only likely to read once. If the formatting is really, really bad, I'm more likely to simply move on to something else.

For me it doesn't matter whether I read the book once or many times. I cannot read it even once if it's not formatted the way I want. Usually it takes less than a minute to correct the formatting and as all my books go into Calibre anyway (I don't read library ebooks, they're not available in my country), it's no bother. Forced to put up with formatting I can't stand (for example, spaces between paragraphs or huge paragraph indents in a fiction book), that's way more bother. Yes, I know I've got OCD.
