E books are a complete failure as far as I am concerned because DRM

You're doing it wrong, then. Try Google Play, for a start.


Does that have a standalone Linux version?
It seems to e a store selling online services and apps for android.. I
dont want a store selling online services Or apps for Android. I want to
download and tread by Ebooks off line. On linux..


You're reading it wrong.

It sells real e-books. You must have missed that. In epub format.

Here are four ebook readers for Linux. Just to give you a choice. I don't
use Linux, so I can't speak for all of them, but I use Calibre elsewhere.
It even reads DRM-protected Kindle books.
