It is a classic example of marketing speech when using many buzzwords sounds like it is a new thing.
Supplying books from the cloud to reading app is the same as downloading them from the server. It may be more restrictive DRM that requires permanent internet connection and downloading page by page so that it is harder to make a copy. Probably, these are rare technical books with small target audience that can bear with these little inconveniences.
Amazon can change the books stored on their servers too. When you download your previously bought book to a new device it might be an update. I don't know if they do it but how can you know?
