While this is very sound advice, there are some books on Google Play Books that offer no downloadable EPUB nor PDF files. I have about 110 books I've purchased via Google Play Books, and about nine offer no downloadable files. You can only read them via the Google Play Books website or the Google Play Books app. Of course, there's no mention of this prior to actually purchasing the book.
