And remember, I'm speculating based on how they handled the "too many" returns. At some point they obviously decide the customers with a huge return rate are not the ones they are going to work to keep happy and they turn off returns. If someone is downloading, let's say 100 books a month, then cancels their subscription, Amazon may decide they are not a customer they care to have in the subscription program. So when that customer comes back in 3 months to sign up again, they may not allow it.

I haven't noticed Scribd complaining about too many downloads--I downloaded a bunch before a trip where I expected not to have wifi access for extended periods of time and didn't know what I'd feel like reading--although to be honest I have no intention of canceling Scribd for Prime at this point.
