I just used the Cloud Reader in Safari on my iPad. When I signed out of my account in the Cloud Reader, the downloaded book was removed.

I downloaded it again, and turned off the wifi on my iPad. The book remained in the Cloud Reader. That is offline reading. It's not "signed out Reading."

A book from Amazon can't remain downloaded to a public computer if the account is signed out. It would break the TOS with Amazon. It would also make it very easy to share books illegally.
Thanks for the answer. My other concern was that the 'offline reading" book would count towards the "license limit" of downloading the same book over several devices but apparently it doesn't.
