As long as there is some form of separation between the POVs - as in, a physical pause of some sort, be it an empty line between the paragraphs or something textual like * or --- or my personal favorite ~*~ - it doesn't tend to bother me much. However, when there *is* no separation, just one paragraph your in one POV and the next your in someone elses', *then* it bugs me to the point where I might stop reading the story, no matter how good it is. Not always, mind, but there have been a few times in which I stopped reading entirely when thats happened. I am extremely picky about the quality of the story-telling.
