What I did not like about them was you could either buy a google book (only readable via a google app) or as a free but bitmapped Pdf, so bloated that it used to crash my iPad. I did not mind paying, but would like to get some more flexible format.

Good thing you're using the past tense, as he's published source code for both black books:

Their current Google Book is listed as DRM free[0]. Is that still restricted to only be downloadable in the Google app, or does that mean I could buy it and just download from the Google Play website itself as an EPUB?

It is a DRM free book.

I am using another app to read it.
