Speed readers won’t be able to get around the giant’s return policy.
There are still people who admire a book for its front pagefor his touch or for the smell that give off its unworn pages. Of course, those who have forgotten these characteristics do not always have to be people who have stopped reading. The e-books they came for to stay and Amazon is one of the market leaders. Until now, the North American company allowed return the copies digital devices purchased from your store in the course of first weekbut this is about to change.

Previously, we have told you how you can transfer electronic books to the Kindle, how to find and download free eBooks with Amazon Prime or the 8 best tricks for the Amazon reading device.
Buy, read, but don’t return so fast
The information, which has been published in the specialized media The Authors Guild, has recently reached us and talks about a change in return policies of e-books purchased on Amazon. To date, those who purchased an electronic book had 7 days to cancel the orderwhich meant that if you are a devourer of books, you could find a way to read them for free.
Before the end of the year, Amazon will make a update this policy and will only allow returns of books when reader have not completed more than one 10% of your readingsomething that seems to go in favor of the authorsas explained from the website that we mentioned earlier:
We at The Authors Guild are proud to report that our meetings with the Amazon team, regarding the policy that allows readers to return e-books purchased online within the first seven days of their purchase, regardless of what they have read from them, has finished with a groundbreaking agreement. This process will be a strong deterrent against buying, reading, and returning within the first seven days, and readers who attempt to abuse the return policy will be penalized by Amazon.
Just a reminder that Amazon is NOT a library. When you read and return a book it COSTS the author… It’s June 1st and I owe Amazon at the moment because people are reading through the Muse series and returning the books when they finish…. :-/ Authors need to eat too… 🙁

Even there will be the option of return a book if it has been read more than 10% of the content, although the process will go through a agent that will evaluate the case and obviously it will make it tedious and cumbersome to prevent the reader from retrying the postback. Some authors, such as Lisa Kessler in the Tweet that we show you on these lines, they have already made their position clear in the past: ‘Amazon is not a library’.
