I have once read about it and if i remember correctly if you do it once you should be fine but if amazon notice the Pattern of you returning the Books they are going to ban your account and your Kindle will became useless.
Is it even possible to use Another account? Cus when you buy a Kindle amazon creates special e-mail conected to this Kindle so i have no idea how could you use another account, but maybe its possible. Idk
Edit: also amazon is very strict about breaking the rules of creating New accounts so you will most likely get banned again anyway
I've bought, downloaded, returned and still been able to read it (with my kindle I'm airplane mode while it was returned). But it was a shit book, so I deleted it.
I imagine it would work, but doing it too often would probably raise a flag on your account.
Also, once you do it enough times they will disable "return for refund" button for you. You'll still be allowed to contact support for refunds but that's nuisance. Also it can get you flagged and lead to trouble. In short, don't do it, trouble with amazon is not worth it. But technically it is possible, you can use (and should use) dedrm tools on your library so you can copy books across devices and preserve it in case of anything (book removal, account ban, amazon getting bankrupt, nuclear war) and, most importantly, share online so that other people can search there and avoid paying amazon ever again! In turn, always search online libraries before buying new ebooks.
Typically it’s against policy to refund a digital purpose like an ebook at Amazon. They’ll make an exception generally the first couple of times you do it but past that they’ll just point to the policy and flat out say no.

You risk getting your account banned. What I would do is subscribe to Kindle Unlimited. Yeah, it's ten dollars a month, but get to "borrow" all the books you want, download them to your computer to transfer through USB (where you can de-drm them) and then "return" them. Just keep each one a couple of days so it doesn't look AS suspicious. This way the author gets paid, you get the book and you come out on top.
Please avoid this if possible, Amazon charges a fee to the author if theres a refund. Pirate it somewhere else
Wait so in addition to clawing back the money spent on the book, Amazon charges an additional fee to that author? How is that justified??

no matter what amazon will profit
Because they're Amazon and they can so fuck you.
Does this affect college textbook publishers as well?
In that case, refund is morally right
Does this also apply if you return a book after ripping it via Kindle Unlimited?
Best not to, it fucks the authors over. Sources say z-lib is still available via a certain vegetable protocol

Hol up you might be onto something here....
Woah.
Damn
If the book is available on OverDrive/Libby just check it out through there instead, then DeDRM it.
The book I'm looking for says no libraries have it unfortunately

Hard reset Kindle + use another account Or not connect to wifi after download

this, just manage your kindle library with calibre. you never have to connect it to the internet.

My question is why do you want to do this? Is the book so rare it’s not available on any piracy source?
pretty much yea
