This is a very similar feature to the "reading recommendations" feature of the Kindle (although that can be turned off). I believe that Kobo have a similar feature, too.
I would love to know how to extract the file for myself to put onto calibre and strip the drm. A couple years ago, I "bought" a freebie or a 99c book (can't remember now) on the Google books application just to see how it works, and could not find out how to make the file "mine".It seems to be firmly glued to the app itself and I cannot read it any other way. (using an android phone).

I'm a tech dunce, admittedly.
