You cannot take the fulfilled .ePub/.PDF file and side load it to, say, Bluefire or Overdrive on iOS, as you can with books borrowed from Overdrive portals. For me, it greatly limits the already limited usefulness of a limited collection of titles with lots of formatting issues and typos.
Bluefire can handle the fulfillment of the acsm file itself, so I don't see why that wouldn't work, once someone has written the right bookmarklet for it.
