Reader Frustrations

As an editor, one of the most frustrating things I do is attempt to read a poorly edited ebook for pleasure. I feel as though the publisher has stolen my money - how unprofessional is it to publish a book that spells "rifle" as "riffle"? And where the wrong forms of "you're" and "your" are used...consistently??
I can't enjoy what I'm reading because I'm so angry!
