But they aren't. Amazon's T&Cs make this crystal clear:

Digital Content is licensed, not sold, to you by the Content Provider.
and, moreover:

Unless specifically indicated otherwise, you may not sell, rent, lease, distribute, broadcast, sublicense, or otherwise assign any rights to the Digital Content or any portion of it to any third party
