I wasn't talking about iPhone to Google Drive. I was talking about connecting the iPhone to anything local and about connecting an ereader to Google Drive.
I know some people use it, but passing stuff to a dedicated ereader with Google Drive is clunky and stupid. It only even works with some ereaders. Also for bought books other than Smashwords, there is DRM. Hence if you don't have a computer the totally best solution is a matt screen Android tablet. An iPhone plus Google drive would just be a clunky stupid way for PD. You can actually access most PD direct on many ereaders, and certainly Kobo. it is the copyright books on an ereader WITHOUT PC where you are locked to the ereader's vendor's book shop.
If you have a computer (Mac, Linux, Windows and some newer Chromebooks), then you can buy any ebooks nearly anywhere and read them on anything.
Google drive solves nothing.
Also if they have no computer they likely have no WiFi for a Kobo to Google Drive unless the iPhone can be a WiFi hotspot. My iPhone had no such feature, but my older cheaper Android phone does still support Mobile to WiFi or USB networking.
