It may be it operates like their GMail, or Docs, where there are "offline" modes. For instance, you can auto or manual synch GMail for flaky connections or just knowing you're going offline, so you can still use it, and access your synched email, when you don't have a connection. Likewise, you can work offline with (some?) documents in their Docs office suite.
This is just me hypothesising, though I do think there is a likelihood of them having an awareness of
an online-all-the-time limitation, especially when reading may be precisely the type of thing many may wish to do when voluntarily or involuntarily out of range. They use and are expanding that technology now, so, to me, it makes logical sense that it would be incorporated from the get-go.
I will acknowledge that "logical sense" is not always readily apparent in this developing ebook environment.
