Guess I didn't read the fine print, as it was not clear from the order page what I was NOT getting. I haven't bothered to install Glose, so haven't seen that interface or looked into how it stores books for offline use. I've requested a refund, since for the same (high) price, I can get it from Amazon for Kindle.

HC's website is misleading in other ways, as well. The book I wanted showed to be on sale for $2.99, but that offer was for 2013 (!) and expired, though still was displayed as-if... The actual price was $9.95, as I learned after adding it to my cart.
From the Glose FAQ:

Can I download the books I buy on my computer?
No, you can’t. The books you buy on Glose are only available on your profile, and you can read them on your computer, mobile or tablet (on our free app).

Your library is synced on all your devices so you can read everywhere, anytime.
So no, not downloadable. I can only read on my computer since the app isn't available in my local app stores.
