Would not.
I won't repeat my previous explanation of Amazon not providing a book count in it’s console and my "slow" internet (6-8 Mbps at it’s best minus any international congestion) - it’s there in earlier pages.
I just wan’t prepared to load, wait, count, scroll, load, wait, count, scroll….. repeat.
DNSB it appears, counted as he went along, choosing titles at random. Goodonya DNSB for your commitment to the cause!
I originally loaded from a subject/search result list and I’m guessing that it was that specific concentration that flipped the switch. (Or maybe the’ve tweaked the code recently).

I’m sure there are those answers, somewhere buried deep in the bowels of these 000’s of messages (no I’m not going to ask for a link, don’t worry)
But my point in responding is; Absolutely, return the books “unread”.
And to use what I’ve learned so far with all the previous links supplied in this thread - just make sure you return to the “cover” of the crappy book before you return it so that the Amazon abacus doesn’t “pay” the numb nut author any money.
Not to help the behemoth but as some small assistance to genuine authors and maximising their available pot.
