It usually means that after 30 days the reader will refuse to read it, telling you it has expired. In some old software, you could reset your computer date back and read it anyway (don't know if that will work with digital editions -- it might if you never open it with a date where it has expired, it might always work and it might actually "fix" the file so it is dead even after you set your date back).
It's the same technology used for library rentals of ebooks.
Note that this is ONLY for the PDF download - not the other two, where you go thru checkout and use a coupon code. For those, you "own" them as much as if you had paid for them (they don't expire, at least not on purpose).
