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.
