Glaring errors can stop me reading, especially if they're central to the plot. Errors that throw me in an otherwise good story may inspire me to ask the author what they were thinking, when I give feedback.
But I don't feel obliged to finish reading anything. Except when it's short and I'm reading it as a favour for someone, like the beta-from-hell one of my friends was lumbered with. I read it all the way through just to prove that she was being a lot less harsh on the author than I would have been.
