(note: I added the bolding in the quote above)
Amazon says I am buying the eBook with 1-click. It does not say licensing with 1-click. So since I am buying, I am buying all the fair use that comes with the purchase. Now if the button said licensing with 1-click, that would be different. So tell Amazon that they EULA is bogus and not going to wash since I just bought it due to their buy with 1-click worded button.
