If it is "throwing me out of the book", it is because it was already happening because of something else.

Breaks between paragraphs also pull me right out of a book. My most recent example of this was because, IMO, the writer/publisher wanted to double the page count of the book. When I read for 15 minutes and was at the 40% mark, I realized what was going on, and I stopped reading. It was like mentally hitting a brick wall after every 2 sentences.
A "river" running through the page barely registers with me, but those large gaps appearing 2-3 times on one page just ruins the book for me. Sometimes, if it's a book I really want to read, I'll try to fix it in Calibre. But my editing skills aren't great, and for the book in question it wasn't worth the bother.
