Incorrect, in the UK. The distance selling regulations apply.
Ebooks are "goods" - and they are not classified as audio or video recordings, or software.

Amazon are breaching them by not supplying format information pre-sale, and this means currently there is a 3 month+7 day period for returns, legally (it'd be 7 days if they provided said information).

The law probably needs changing because there's no real reason for them to be handled different from audio and video recordings, but that is the law at present.
