Sure - Amazon certainly weren't the first - you can buy and download books on any Windows "Smartphone", for example.
What Amazon
have done is made it a slick and easy-to-use process, that you don't need to be a computer expert to use. Just like Apple did with buying music online - the iPod certainly wasn't the first MP3 player out there, but Apple brought the technology to the masses, and, with iTunes, made it easy for anyone to use.
What matters isn't being first, but being best.
