I see nothing inherently wrong with that. I've had vendors tell me to do the same thing. That's the only way mail order companies can get you buy stuff sight unseen. Certainly Amazon has calculated the costs into their policy, knowing that for everyone who might buy and return 2 of 3 ereaders, there are far more who were induced to shop because of the lenient return policy but will never return anything.
I can see if someone overused, Amazon might be reasonable in cutting that user off from free returns, but I cannot see how it would be fair in any way for Amazon to cut them off from all their legitimate purchases and also not explain why,
What's the alternative to buying and returning? Surely you don't recommend using the overhead and customer services resources of brick and mortar store to do your comparison shopping, when you plan to buy online at Amazon? That would be just as big an abuse of the B&M store.
