Supplying books from the cloud to reading app is the same as downloading them from the server.

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?  |
Which is why I keep a local copy. Always.
I had recently downloaded a Kindle freebie,
The Immigrants, by Howard Fast. Just yesterday Amazon sent me an e-mail advising me that an updated version was available, with typos corrected. If I wanted it, I had to respond to the e-mail, then the new file would be sent to my Kindle for PC next time I opened the program.
