!bookworms do you ever do this?
Pretty sure Amazon just resells the books as used, for a cheaper price
You'd think the anti capitalist redditors would look fondly on this

Just pirate everything to your Kindle and you don't have to bother with returns, and still keep the book

I'm considering resorting to extreme measures, like getting a prison sentence on purpose, just so I can be locked in a small room with nothing to do most of the day except read shit.

it needs multiple reads.
swan song needs more, though, since it's the superior version of the story.

goodwill. second hand stores. flea markets. yard sales.
god i unironically love going through what is basically peoples trash looking for books.
i found the entire the survivalist series at a flea market once and it was the best day of my life. the guy could have grifted the shit out of me because when i asked "how much for the whole box?" i was willing to pay any price he said no questions asked.

seriously
why go through all the trouble of ordering and returning the book? just download an epub/mobi, r-slur! you'll have the book faster and won't have to do anything other than click your mouse like 3 times.

Purchasing an item with the intent to use it and return it for full price is probably technically stealing, and isn't at all comparable to just waiting for an item to go on sale before purchasing it.
I mean it's Amazon so it doesn't really matter. I know people who will buy a phone on Amazon, return a literal fricking brick, and be like "yeah i dunno there was a brick in the box when i got it
". In comparison, this book thing is irrelevant. And even then, I didn't cut all contact with the people doing this... although I'll make note of it and never lend them anything lol.

I avoid this moral dilema by simply pirating any book I find interesting. Why bother with grey areas when you could just steal it?
I agree that it's shit behaviour but the 'it's no big deal they have insurace
' crowd on reddit has no right to complain about it.
