I have purchased a few books from Play Books, have no issue getting them via ACSM file (I use the calibre plugin, no ADE required, create a new AdobeID if you need to). Sometimes you can get both ePub and PDF. In these cases you may find the ePub has a lot of extra markup, apparently to enable switching between re-flowable and fixed-layout with Google's reading app and preserving reading position.
However some purchases do not offer a download option, so it is best to check the details before purchasing.
If something I want is in Kindle Store and it is in Print Replica format (used for textbooks mostly), I look to see if Google has it (in PDF format). While I can still remove DRM using K4PC method, that may not work at some point. Also, I can then push the PDF to Send To Kindle and it is a Write On Book on my Scribe, with ability to share the annotations etc. Most print replica titles in Kindle Store are not made available for Kindles even though the newer ones support this format (yet only Scribe and Colorsoft get the print-replica conversion of PDFs you add to library).
