Amazon is tightening its ebook return policy to thwart BookTok

Amazon plans to limit automatic ebook returns to cases where people have read no more than 10 percent of the book, according to the Authors Guild. The change, which follows complaints that Kindle buyers were returning titles they’d fully read to get a refund, is expected to take place by the end of the year. In a press release, the guild blamed “BookTok influencers” for encouraging people to get “free” books by buying and then returning them.
