Petition Amazon to stop letting people return ebooks after 15% read!

If one purchases a physical book in a bookstore one can not return it unless there is someting physically wrong with it (E.G. pages bound up-side-down or text missing). However one can, with Amazon return a book when 15 percent read. This seems wholly wrong particularly given that one can sample Kindle titles prior to purchasing them. Kevin

    As usual, I probably have the wrong information, but I thought that Amazon paid the author for the number of pages read?

    That’s probably on another one of their programs. 🙂

      Thanks for your comment. Yes it all gets rather confusing to put it mildly! I think there is a lot to be said for the old fashioned way of doing things, namely one either buys a book which one can not (other than under exceptional circumstances return for a refund) or one borrows the same book!

        You’re correct, there is a lot to be said for the simpler ways.

        Most authors don’t have a hefty price tag on kindle. It’s one thing to pay $20 for a book, another thing if it’s $4 or less for a virtual copy.
