I wonder if there is something wrong with me?!? 
When I read a book on my reader, it's for the pleasure of reading a story,  not to correct student's term papers. If there is a mistake I just read past it and pay it no mind.

It depends on the ebook, too, of course. If the errors are minor (e.g. a few missing periods, maybe an extra space somewhere), you're not as likely to notice them.
When the errors are literally legion, it's hard not to notice. I recently compiled the list of ebook errors (obviously OCR typos) in By the Sword by Mercedes Lackey, I ended up with a list of 250 typos. And some of the items in my list were "search for this word, it's wrong everywhere".
I sent the list into the publisher, who were actually fairly nice. They replied and said they would look into it. Of course, now that the ebook has been removed from ereader.com, who knows if a corrected version will ever appear again?
