However, I'm a bit confused regarding BadBilly's reply.
I've just bought an eBook through Google Play. Once I paid for it seems to have instantly gone into my Google Play library i.e. without me having to download it. I've tried switching on airplane mode and accessing the book and all seems well. Am I missing something?
I assume you have Google Play Books
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...oid.apps.books
to read on. You don't have to install another reader if you find the Google one adequate for reading books you bought from the Play store.

As an experiment, I just bought a book via the Google play store app on my phone. I didn't see any option to download or not. I put my phone in airplane mode, opened the Play Books app, and was immediately able to read the book.

I think (?) you only have to choose "download" if you are buying a book from your PC and want to have a copy of the book stored locally on the PC. I do this if I want to be able to sync the book from my PC onto my Sony e-ink reader, since the Sony can't get a book directly from the Play store.
