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!

I use a Kindle and download audio books from Amazon. I can listen anytime anywhere, do not need an Internet connection (except for the initial download), and have never had a problem. You don't even need to buy a Kindle. I have the app on my Samsung Android phone, tablet and computer. Everything is synced so you can switch devices and pick up on the same page you left. There are some free books, other's you pay for, or you can get a membership for a low fee like I have for Kindle Unlimited. You can borrow books just like from an online library and keep them as long as you want. No other ebook sites or software can even compare to Amazon's platform.
