Not sure this is the case. I looked through the FAQ's and found this question & answer

How is my library organised? What do the groups mean?
Answer:
Your library is organised in to two main areas:
- Your cloud, where we store all your books automatically
- Your device, where you can choose to download a number of books that you are reading to take with you on the go.
Your device is broken up into four groups based on your reading status:
Recently purchased, which contains your most recently bought books
Books you’re reading brings together any books you’ve got on the go at the moment
Books to read, which you’ve bought but haven’t started reading yet
Books you’ve finished that can now be returned to your cloud to free up space.
Your cloud is where all your eBooks are stored – the cloud is your world of books, the device is the satellite! When you buy a book, it automatically goes to the cloud. From here you can download it to any of your Android phones or tablets, iPhones or iPads – you simply have to be connected to the internet, then tap the cover to download to whatever device it is in your hand.

It seems to imply that books you download to your phone or tablet are stored on your device. It may just be a matter of finding the folder the app's using and going from there using Calibre & Alf.
Not very user friendly. Will have to think carefully about whether its worth the effort to create an account to download a freebie and see if I can get it on my ereader. Plenty of other ebook stores.
