Seems a dumb policy.

I accidentally purchase a book once with the 1-click button, and just kept it. Fortunately is was a kindle deal of the day book for 1.99. No great loss.
Most people don’t know how to download and convert their Kindle purchases. There should be some protection for readers who buy an ebook by accident; for readers who realize the book is some kind of scam (plagiarized text, book stuffing, etc.); for readers who find out they already bought an earlier edition; etc.
