I can live with widows, orphans and even rivers on my small iPhone screen because they don't stand out as much, but as I have a graphic design background, so they drive me crazy when I read on a desktop.
So I can put up with some level of formatting issues. But these have totally turned me off a book:
o Lack of quotation marks - I had a big name author book in eBook format that was missing all quotation marks in eReader format. As it was fiction, it made it impossible to tell who the dialogue belong to.
o Section breaks within chapters. For fiction, you need to know when a scene or POV is changing. For non-fiction, when the topic has changed.
o Paragraph breaks - if these aren't clear, I stop reading. Large blocks of text are visually exhausting, even on a small screen.
