Connie, I believe you "own" them in the sense that you have the right to access them as often as you want from Amazon's cloud server. You don't download them. This is supposedly an advantage, in that you don't have to use your own space to store them.
Can I mop your brow? I am at the ready with the fearsome brow-mop.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Holy crap. I just signed a lease.
I should have keys by the end of the week.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay ND!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
That's some official business ownership there! But do you still have thongs with the logo on them?

But I like to cuddle my treasures and glory over them and have them available when the Internet goes out. I may have been a dragon in a previous life.

Woohoo NoiseDesign!
I'm pretty sure iTunes will let you actually download a copy and put it somewhere safe or even burn it to DVD. I haven't tried that in a while, though. I don't know about the others, but you can download books from Amazon, why not video? Would need the proprietary player for any of them, I guess, unless you can convert them somehow.

You don't technically own the books you buy from Amazon, either - they can always take them back from you.

Took Walter for another walk, let him set the pace and choose the direction. Usually he follows our regular route but today he decided to detour around the hotel, so that was interesting. On the way back, saw a robin with a worm that he had apparently just pulled out of the ground. 5:56 PM, I don't think that qualifies as early.
Incidentally, my Fitbit counted 3757 steps while the Zombies, Run app on my phone came up with 4761. Hm.

But you have access to them offline, and there's nothing stopping you from moving the file to hard drive not connected to the internet. Is there?
