How to Return a Kindle Book for a refund

1. Go to amazon.com/digitalorders and log into the Amazon account that you used to purchase the book. You don't need to do this from your Kindle — you can do it from any internet browser.

This will direct you to your digital orders, where you'll see everything you've purchased, organized by the most recent. If your book is eligible for a return, select the "Return for Refund" button next to the title that you want to return.
