^^Absolutely.

Two random comments: I’m not an Amazon fangirl, as I frequently find it irritating and/or incomprehensible, but I also don’t think they’re the great evil. And blaming Amazon because people are sleazy and dishonest seems misdirected to me; it’s not quite like blaming the victim since Amazon covers its posterior, but it’s close. Also, ultimately authors have a choice; they can suck it up or they can refuse to list on Amazon. Yup, I thought so. An unfortunate cost of doing most business involves allowing for the sleaze factor.

At least twice I’ve inadvertently bought a Kindle book and didn’t realize it for days, until I noticed it in my library. Seven days for a return seems reasonable to me and at that I’ve bought books where I didn’t see that the formatting made them unreadable until I got to them far beyond the return window.
