Ok, retraction here: just downloaded the ipad app, then added free ebook from Google store. No problem, looks good, easy to read and I can turn off wi-fi and it's apparently downloaded for offline viewing. Won't buy books from Google as they're not any cheaper than Amazon.
Not only that, you can download ePub or PDF, and read on any ereader or app that supports Adobe DRM (or the non DRM ePub/PDF offerings of course)
