I aksed, and it turns out that he would buy multiple technical books on a single topic and only keep the best one. I think he was pushing his luck, honestly.
Well, I've bought about 150 and never returned any. There was one I probably should have because the formatting was horrible but I read it anyway. I'm curious. What were the main reasons you returned them? Do you read samples first? I've only bought a book without reading the entire sample when I was outside of the US. That has generally been enough to ascertain if there's a problem with a book. I've never returned a paper book for not liking it, so I don't think I'd return an ebook for that reason either.
