Also, why not make the return policy for ebooks the same as it is for movies or music?
I agree. I wouldn't return a book because I disliked it. You have to read/consume it to know it's terrible, so you "used" what you paid for. I don't buy any books without a certain amount of info beforehand, so if I still buy it after negative reviews or past experience with the author, it's on me if it's no good.

That said, the bulk of my reading is sourced from my public library and KU. I can stop reading and send the book back if it turns out to be a stinker, no harm, no foul.
