I read a lot and find gun errors annoying.

I had one that was worse: A character's gelding turned into a mare within two paragraphs (or was it a mare into a gelding?)....

Actually, the worst error I ever encountered in a book was this hardcover edition in which one chapter ended in another chapter. You know, reading along, suddenly BANG! the scene shifts, and the rest of the chapter is the ending of a totally different chapter. Ended up buying another copy of that book in paperback, and found nearly an entire chapter had gone missing in the hardcover.
