I am trying to find a good service to read ebooks (preferably for free) but as long as it is a good experience I don’t mind paying. Thanks for your opinion.

    Depends on the platform.

    If you’re on an Apple device at least, the built-in Books app works great for reading ePub files.

    I lost access to one of my Amazon accounts, and it isn’t easy to recover. They give you the option to make a paid international call to recover your account, since I don’t live in the United States. Can’t possibly recommend it. If you lose your account, you lose all the books you bought.

    I think kobo identifies your Wi-fi network, but ever since I found out amazon puts you through this, the book buying (actually renting) lost its charm to me.

    I would go with whats available freely on the Internet. I use “filetype:pdf” on Google to find books, for example.

    Another vote for using your library. I mostly use BorrowBox as that’s what my library hosts their eBooks on. I have used Libby in the past though.

    Bookbub is a site that has low cost ebooks that might be worth checking out.

    Try moon reader pro for android, it got project Gutenberg and feedbooks built in and you can configure your own source also it has a lot of necessary feature like darkmode for books and stuff.

    I use a Kobo Nia it was pretty cheap and I have no complaints at all about it. You can easily copy epubs over yourself with the cable.

    On Android I use moon+ but it’s easier using the Kobo.
