True. You can read the free book (free in this instance) by creating an account and downloading the software to read it in. Disconnect from the internet, and you loose the ability to read the book. Therefore the reference to the book being "in the cloud".

Alternately you can download it to a ebook reader but it'll be in a DRM format with all that entails (i.e. readers that can not work with Adobe DRM epub, can't read it).


This is all new to me too, because I don't check with the Kobo site anymore.
