Typos pull me out of a book. Somehow, I have problems imagining a shapeshifting mousse.
On the kindle I will often use the, "report an error" and highlight the typo. It may not ever be fixed, but it makes me feel better and I can go back to enjoying the story.
A lot of the ones I find are for homonyms would/wood their/there. It makes me wonder if people edit their books using text to speech functionality.
That said, there has been only one book where formatting and typos made me mention it in a review - the author had recopied over an entire scene in two different sections of the book and left in some obvious edits. Sadly, when last I checked the book hadn't bee fixed.
