So....
If I buy a book for £9.99 and read half of it because its a technical book, and I moved onto something else.... Do I get a refund on the other half of the money, or is Amazon just keeping that instead paying it to the author?
No author, no book, no revenue. Seems shortsighted if my above query is indeed correct. If I've bought it, I expect the creator to be paid, whether or not I consume the whole product. It's not like I can send a couple of slices of Pizza back to Dominos for a refund...
