If so, how do you do it? Do you use Google Play books or use apps like PDF file readers? I’m only 19 and I’m interested to start my reading hobby. Though I can also grab some books on a close bookstore nearby, I am also interested to do it digitally.

    Kobo? I did a google search and it looked interesting. Thanks for the info. I think I might try that app.

      I think they meant the physical device

      https://www.kobo.com/ca/en

      They can be a bit pricy if you’re young and on a budget.

      If you’re trying to read on your phone only, I’d recommend these apps:

      • Readest: The app is on both mobile and desktop, it’s a nice experience, and it’s free/ open source. I found it to be stable but I’ve seen comments about bugs
      • Moon Reader: It’s paid / proprietary, but well known and customizable

      As for sourcing the files

      You don’t really need a home server if it’s just for yourself. Don’t worry too much, especially if you’re just starting the hobby
