Indeed, you can buy the license with one click. They even have a patent on the idea.

It doesn't say "your licensed content is sent automatically." It says "purchase."

As, indeed, the purchase of the license is.

A computer file sent through the internet is every bit as intangible as the license that you bought.

When a company says one thing in big print, and something else in small print far away (there's no easy link to the kindlebook TOS from the purchasing pages), the law has often held that the big print is usually what the customer gets to use.

The big print doesn't say you're buying a license.
It also doesn't say you're buying the ebook.
Good luck with that lawsuit.
