That seems to be a rather odd response to @Sirtel's comment.

Perhaps you could clarify what you mean by your "own device can be bugged"? The NSA is listening to you while keeping track of what you are reading? Your device has programming bugs (the comment about any program more complex that "Hello, world" has bugs comes to mind)?

You like the choice between mobi, KF8/azw3 and KFX though you have difficulties telling them apart when reading?

People vary in what they expect from their reading experience. Some people don't mind words being misused, others are not so easily pleased.

Some of my pet peeves that I edit out:

Misuse of homonyms or near homonyms. One recent military SF book comes to mind when the author used repel instead of rappel. When you have the team travelling in a mountainous area requiring multiple rappels, that misuse became very annoying. Or one book my spouse read where the author used rain, rein and reign incorrectly. While riding in the rein, she pulled on the horse's rains type of misuse.

Specifying Times New Roman as the default body font despite it looking like crap on eInk.

Setting the default line height set to 1.5 so all text looks double spaced (handy for increasing your KU page count though).

Using one HTML/XHTML file for all text content despite the issues that this can cause for many ereaders.

Using indents and paragraph spacing on the same page.

Using an indented paragraph after a scene break.
