FWIW, it's easy enough (for now!) to convert a KU book to a USB-downloadable book by purchasing it. KU-listed books are usually pretty cheap to buy-- no $17.99 here. We're talking $0.99-6.99 mostly. Worth it for series completion, as some 1st-in-series books are cheap and on KU for discovery. I use KU for discovery, and have found many awesome books as well as many I am glad I didn't pay individually for. It's just SUCH a grab-bag there.
