I'm with igorsk on this -- salesman confusion. The only other way of reading it is that the BeBook will return details, with its ID, to a central server of every item on the device and consumed. Which I think would fall foul of all sorts of laws.
They also say they've have cheaper books than other sources (Kindle, for instance). Well, it would be good if they did, but I'm not holding my breath!
