I'm not opposed to at least some kind of return policy. I had to help my mother return a Kindle book recently that she was strong-armed into buying, because Amazon search on a Kindle seems to bend over backwards to hide free books from the results. She wanted to grab Moby Dick to read for a reader's group, and despite the fact that the book is in Public Domain and has several free copies available (including an AmazonClassics Edition!), she was only seeing paid copies available.
