Whether an eBook is a good or a service can be determined by its tax status. If you are charged sales tax on the purchase (in a locality that doesn't charge on services, like many US states), then it is a good, and should be inheritable.

Nope. Your driver's license is a government issued document, that is not transferable or inheritable.
