What website/app do you use to read ebooks?

What website/app do you use to read ebooks? - Lemmy

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.

I used to read Moon Reader on Android before I switched to a dedicated e-ink book reader in the Kobo Clara HD.

If you’re going to be doing anything more than very casual reading, do yourself a favor and get an e-ink reader like the Kobo or a Paperwhite or something. You really won’t regret it.

I'll throw a shoutout to Onyx Boox, rather than Kobo or Kindle. It runs Android, can run literally any file type, doesn't lock you into an ecosystem with DRM where you don't really own the books you buy. I despise Kobo and Kindle for that reason.

But I totally agree about how nice e-ink is. It's literally as good as paper. Maybe better. Soooo nice.

It’s very trivial to sideload EPUBs on a Kobo using Calibre. I think it is similarly easy on a Kindle. You’re not really locked into any ecosystem you don’t want to be with either, tbh.
