It's crazy but true that the 30 days free returns on paperback books is not just for defective books. It's a free 1 month loan if people choose to treat it as such.
Read the Amazon terms and conditions for free returns
.a book can be returned without needing a reason
And even a slow reader could finish almost any book in 30 days!
I have not looked into how widespread this is. I noticed it first on all the ABRSM music exam pieces books..
I see also that most Google play books can be returned within 7 days, like with kindle. No obvious restrictions. No warnings that I could see about excessive returns. Seems over generous as the rule for Google play apps and games is that you can only return if used for less than 2 hours.maybe
e they don't , or cant track reading time, only elapsed owned time.
I think 2 hours is plenty long enough to decide to return a book. Not long enough to read a complete lengthy book for free, but enough to assess quality and return if dissatisfied
