The new company BOUNDLESS requires constant internet access even after you downloaded the book. So, if you do not have any internet access, forget about listening to that e-book. If you have internet access via Wi-Fi and far too many people are doing FACETIME, you will encounter timeouts and have to restart.

The same will occur if you are flying on an airplane with no WIFI.

FYI. I download the books to my iPhone and pair the sound to my Bluetooth hearing aids. This works great when it works!
In Europe in December did not always have internet so sometimes could continue with my book and sometimes I could not. A bit of a pain but brought paperback just in case.
