My local library uses overdrive for ebooks, which you can check out and either download for kindle, download as epub, or read online in your internet browser. I usually download to an eink reader, but if I’m reading on my phone I use the read in browser option.

Suggestion: if you plan to read on your phone, look in the settings to set the background and text color of whatever app you choose to something that doesn’t strain your eyes.

Estate sales are another option, though your mileage may vary.

I appreciate your animal posts!

Download + offline listening is also something I look for in a music app. I just went through the free trials for deezer and qobuz. Deezer’s download was straight up stupid - I couldn’t find a way to force it to immediately download updates after modifying a playlist. With qobuz you could force the download immediately, but it makes you select “download only” before you start the music, or it defaults to streaming. Every single time. Sometimes the playlist got corrupted too if a song was removed. I’m almost ready to start buying music again…

I came across this giant comparison table of eReaders last time I was researching an upgrade. While it doesn’t list supported file types, anything running an android operating system that lets you download apps for reading from google play would meet your needs.

As the others mentioned, there’s way too many options.

Heimat - Equilibrium (folk metal)

Score to a new beginning - Fairyland (symphonic metal)

Seven pillars of wisdom - Sabaton (power metal)
