But Amazon didn't purchase the ebooks until it sold the ebooks. The purchase and sale were essentially simultaneous transactions.
In the case of pbooks that a bookstore stocks, the bookstore buys the pbook before the sale and if it can't sell the pbook, returns the pbook for a refund.
In the case of an ebook, there is no return to the publisher and thus no refund because the ebook was not bought by the retailer.
