Where and how to get books? (lemmy.world)

I want to download books and read them on the go. First, where can I get books? I know about libgen, but I rarely find anything I want. Second, where can I read them on the go. I like the concept of e-ink. It doesn’t strain the eyes as much. Are there good cheap tablets I can load my books onto?

You might like Anna's archive. It isn't a quick way to get heaps of ebooks, but I bet you can download them faster than you read them. Haven't kept up on e readers in the last several years, I'm sure you can find a decent one on your own though. Avoid Amazon on general principles, and the kobo ones have Walmart integration FYI (bad)

Anna’s Archive and an e-reader

What kind of e-Reader. I only know about kindle, but I imagine it is not easy to get my on downloaded books on there. Also, the new ones are a bit to expensive for my price range.

You simply cannot go wrong with the new Kobo Clara BW. Cheap, fast, repairable. It’s my favourite object.
