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!
If you decide to abuse Amazon as a free library, they'll notice and ban you. Same as when people return too much (physical) stuff they bought on Amazon - eventually they're going to tell you to stop doing that.

That is partially true - yes, two hours of *reading* is long enough to decide to return a book.

I can count the number of times on one hand where I bought an eBook and then *immediately* had time to start reading it. Usually when I buy books I buy them throughout the day when I notice them, then read them in bed in the evening or on the weekend.

So unless you mean "two hours of the book being open on a Kindle reader actively being read" and not "two hours after buying the book", then no, two hours is definitely not enough. Yes, it's enough for "Oops, bought a book because of the stupid 1-click-purchase again", but not for any kind of quality check on the book.
