The OverDrive app is one of the top-rated eBook apps available for
iOS,
Android, Chromebook, Mac OS, Windows, and Windows Phone.

I suggest you go to YOUR library's site and see what they have to say
about HOW
you can read the type(s) of ebooks they offer.

Virtually all devices are supported -- along with PC/Mac "computers".
As she is NOT interested in reading on a computer (otherwise, any of
the
desktops, laptops, tablets or other "appliances" that we have would be
acceptable options), this means getting a *device* that she can use to
fill the role that a print *book* would have filled.

Kobo Aura H2O, waterproof, dustproof 6.8" backlit screen. I have read
18,000
pages last quarter alone. Coming up to it's first anniversay of when I
purchased it it and love it.

How do ebook pages compare to print pages? E.g., can you provide a count
for some (popular) title that I could contrast with a print version?
And, does page count vary based on (chosen) font size?

For example, a recent read (for me) was _Snow Crash_ -- just under 500pp
in an ~8x10" format.


No idea, it's just a stat provided by my Kobo, I just read, I don't
worry about the comparisons.


As well it was more of a demo that it has been a very dependable device.
