Smile -- You Can Return Amazon Kindle Books!

In case you didn't know Amazon's return policy on Kindle books (YES -- THEY HAVE ONE!), here it is:
---
Returning Kindle Books
Books you purchase from the Kindle Store are eligible for return and refund if we receive your request within seven days of the date of purchase. Once a refund is issued, you'll no longer have access to the book. To request a refund and return content, visit Manage Your Content and Devices, select the Actions button next to the title you'd like to return, and select Return for refund, or contact customer service.

[ update 2015-12-24
The only thing you'll have to do is "Select a reason for your return" and choose one from a list of:
• Wrong Item
• Found a better price elsewhere
• Quality Issues
• Compatibility Issues
• Download Problems
• Defective Content
• Unwanted Purchase
• Digital Rights Restrictions
• Accidental Purchase
• Offensive Content
• Other
It's a pretty comprehensive list of reasons, and it gives you *plenty* of wiggle room! ]

So if you "accidentally" buy that Kindle book you've had your eye on (and happen to have your settings set to "Download and transfer via USB"), then you'll have your Kindle book (and will have paid for it); but you can get a full refund!

Basically it's the same as borrowing the book from the library through Amazon, except you need enough money in your bank account (or credit card) to pay for it for a few days.

Full refund.  Nice!

[And actually, Amazon has so far always refunded the purchase price *before* they deduct it from my bank account!]

(Good thing my DeDRM 6.0.8 program is still working fine!)

  1. Those books that give positive and happy thoughts are those that I wanted to read.

  2. that's why it's so great, if you do your own file support & storage, that you get to keep books that you've returned.

    don't be a lazy drone -- don't let Amazon control your device (adding & deleting documents as it will), but instead control your device (and its documents) yourself.

    yes, it takes a little effort; but it's so worth it in the end!
