* PortingDisaster: The audiobook version is effectively unusual because of how it's formatted. The main text and endnotes are separate files (that are sold separately, not as sub-downloads to allow listening to begin sooner in older audiobooks), and the endnotes have paused between each endnote of one or two seconds. As a result, the only way to listen to the audiobook is to have both files downloaded to a device, immediately pause upon mention of an endnote, switch files, and then hover one's finger over the pause button to keep the next endnote from immediately playing at the conclusion of this one, then manually switch back to the previous file.

* HypeBacklash: The novel's length and complexity has earned it a hatedom, similar to ''Literature/GravitysRainbow'', claiming that it's overwritten and pretentious.

* MemeticMutation: ''Infinite Jest'' has become a punchline about the reading tastes of pretentious intellectual men. People who invoke the meme believe ''Infinite Jest'' is overly complex and not really very good. To some extent, this has become a DiscreditedMeme because of how judgy it is.
