I've returned exactly one ebook in my life for any reason. That was because definitive paragraph breaks and section breaks were non-existent (the author sent me a fixed gratis copy for emailing him about the issue -- which was a kindlebook-only problem). Other than that, I've hardly ever purchased a book (e or p) where typos, misspellings, or formatting were a memorable issue.
I'm a college graduate, for whatever that's worth. As I mentioned elsewhere, I have many different reading "modes" at my disposal. I CAN read more critically (work-related), but I can also turn it off (thankfully) when reading fiction for pure entertainment purposes. It has nothing to do with not caring. It's more of a self-preservation thing. Books have errors. I'm not going to stress myself out focusing on them (the errors, not the books). Not when I can turn on my own internal autocorrect and not have to worry about minor issues. And books with major problems don't seem to find their way through my discovery process very often.
