Yes, I can since it works differently for downloaded books (you download big collections) and it works differently for ebooks compared to pbooks. For pbooks you buy a book and do not read it because you want the physical item or you want to read it later and do not want to risk it being out of print. For ebook the risk for it being out of print should in a perfect world be minimal so there is no reason to accumulate ebooks before you want to read them.
