The Libby app connects with a lot of libraries. There are a few others that are library specific such as cloudreaders, hoopla, and kanopy. If you have a library card, try checking your library's website for a digital collection or elibrary. Depending on where you live you may have access to more library cards as well. I have one for the county library that uses Libby and one for the public library that uses cloudreaders.

This. You can even get audiobooks through Libby.

Yes, I second libby. You can access books, comics, even a wide selection of audiobooks to borrow. A+ app.
