I haven't investigated, but I'd give digital books a shake if I could find a solution that doesn't put control of my library in the hands of Amazon or similar, phone home for analytics, etc. I don't object to the idea in principal. But until I feel safe doing it, I'm still reading physical books.
I haven't used it yet, but I hear Libby with a local library card does well. You're still not owning the books, but they're free
Other commenter have mentioned Kobo readers. And of course you could pirate the epubs.
I'll give it a look. Seems that that's a rakuten product though, which isn't much more comforting...
