These transactions involve acquiring intangible goods or services through the Amazon platform. Examples include e-books for Kindle devices, digital music tracks or albums available through Amazon Music, streaming video content via Prime Video, software downloads, and digital games or in-game content. The user receives access to the purchased item electronically rather than a physical product being shipped.
The availability of these intangible acquisitions provides convenience and immediate access to content. There is no need to wait for shipping, and these digital items often offer cost savings compared to their physical counterparts. This method of acquisition has grown significantly with the increased adoption of digital media and online shopping.
