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.

    I think they meant the physical device

    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
