Does the receipt show you bought an ebook? or a license?

If the receipt says ebook, then "bait-n-switch" comes to mind.
I checked the Sony Reader Store for this very question a while back. They list your purchases on the summary as "You have purchased X eBooks" and details appear under "My Purchased Content." That seems a very careful parsing of the words. Sounds reminiscent of Rebecca Tushnet's noting "DRM is carefully designed so that it will almost never make a consumer mad."
