But that is exactly my point - convenient. Putting restrictions on the buyer is about as far from convenient as it gets.
How is it more convenient to let Google keep the only viewable copy of the book.
If I buy that Stieg Larsson book from Google I pay nearly $10 and I can read it when I can fire up a browser (not on airplanes, not at the lake beach I go to, not sitting in my Mom Mobile outside the school waiting for my kid's practice, not on my commute into work...)
Or I can go to Amazon, Barnes etc etc etc and pay the same $10 (actually I believe much less but let's pretend) and download a copy to my reading device. Then I can read it EVERYWHERE, whether I have internet or not.
That's why this thing isn't working for me. It would be one thing if Google had a dramatically lower price for the book, but they don't.
