> (4) This section does not apply to any of the following:

> (C) Any digital good that is advertised or offered to a person that the seller cannot revoke access to after the transaction, which includes making the digital good available at the time of purchase for permanent offline download to an external storage source to be used without a connection to the internet.

I can imagine e.g. Amazon arguing that kindle books can be downloaded to kindle devices and phones, and so they apply to this exemption. However, the downloads are only usable through their software, so they technically maintain their ability to revoke access because of that.

Wonder if they'll keep their "Buy now" button on kindle books product pages.
