One of the problems is a lot of people do not strip DRM so even if they download and keep a copy, it could has DRM. And in that case, there's a chance that sometime before the book is read, the DRM needs to be updated and that can't be done if it cannot be downloaded. So even if the book is downloaded, that doesn't mean it can be read.
