Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

You may also look into library networks. I have no idea whether it’s available where you are, but I started heavily using my local library’s ebooks online starting over the pandemic. I’ve read dozens of free ebooks without ever actually going there. That being said, every place is different and I believe library access is fairly local - you may want to see if there is such a thing where you are
Also, if you want to be a good citizen and not block others from checking out ebooks, I hear there are things you can do. Things like using Calibre+obok (or DeDRM, depending on device) to rip them from the reader device and remove the DRM. Then you can return the ebook to the library so others can use it, while being able to read it at your leisure.
I wouldn't know, of course, but it seems like the polite thing to do.
