But they are treated equally according to the return policy. You and others keep focusing on self-pubbed, but the return policy goes for all ebooks.

In short, the reader of self-pubbed books could need a few more protections from carp material than the theater-goer.

Nonsense. Caveat emptor.
There is more than enough information out there to make a good judgement before buying a book. And if there is not, then maybe you shouldn't put yourself up as the guinea pig.
Nobody deserves to be insulated from the risk of paying for entertainment that they didn't enjoy in the way they thought they would.

This is also ignoring the issues that returning Kindle books for whatever is legit according to the purveyor...

That it is legit is the whole point of the story I linked to. The purpose of this thread.
Let's say Amazon's return limit is two books (I know two books is okay, because I have returned two books). Using your logic, a person could read a trilogy and only pay for one book. If the limit is two in a month, that could happen every month.
That example wouldn't violate the letter of the return policy, but would violate the spirit of it.
