Right, and I see no reason why you couldn't have multiple ebooks cached locally.

Heck, the reader may not even have internet access so you need to load it from "the cloud" to your PC then to your reader. Actually, this is pretty similar to what happens now... your ebooks are available on "the cloud" (say fictionwise). When you want to read it you cache it (d/l to your PC) locally. If you want it on your reader you transfer it from the PC's cache to your reader.

The only main difference here I think would be that Google is going to give you a "reader" that you can load anywhere. Think web app similar to having Google Mail with Google Gears (off line mode) enabled.
