Isn't this a UK or possibly EU only regulation? In which case, as the books would be imported from America, they would not necessarily be covered. Neither for that matter, would the warranty on a Kindle. You are dealing with amazon.com, not amazon.co.uk

As far as I'm aware, warranties are valid throughout the EU, but at the vendor's discretion outside the EU.

Personally I have used the 7 day cooling off period a few times, but only for genuine incompatibility or sub standard goods. Not because I didn't like something. And I buy practically everything but food on the net.
