they would just shoot me a link and I placed the order.
I doubt Amazon cared who was ordering what. They made the cash. But they don't like it when you ask for it back for whatever reason.
My wife now has her own account- so if I really need something I can only get through Amazon I'll go through her.


I recently downloaded the interactive Harry Potter through iBooks and I'm reading it with my son. Works great. $9.99 I really don't miss Amazon or the kindle app all that much.
The plain fact is that it was your account, your responsibility. "Most of his returns were legitimate." And the others? Like it or not, they weren't his returns, they were your returns. The downside of Amazon's very generous returns policy is that they must crack down on its abuse. Yes, they could and should do it a lot better in very many ways. Paul is trying to address one of them at the moment.

And really? Going to Apple. The most restrictive of the ebook ecosystems? Do you think they have a more generous returns policy than Amazon?
