I'm not overly fussy. I do check that the body text is justified, because making the reader force justification had some weird side-effects in the past (on centered text like chapter headings if I remember correctly).
Also, I'm willing to go out on a limb and try some pretty niche books published by very indie authors and some of those books are a real mess to nigh on unreadable.
Dolly Boy by Paul Rousseas is, as far as I know and as the author claims, the only fiction novel dealing with homosexuals in the concentration camps of World War II. I'm glad in the age of ebooks, the author was able to get it published. But the book was a MESS. I believe the entire book was one file and the formatting was a disaster, with font sizes changing in a paragraph.
I suppose it could reported, but then the book could be removed from sale and I don't want that. So I just cleaned up my copy.
