I am trying to find a good service to read ebooks (preferably for free) but as long as it is a good experience I don't mind paying. Thanks for your opinion.

First thing, check with your local public library.

They are most likely going to already have a free app to use with your library card. (If you don't have a library card, get one. They are free and it is very illegal for libraries to give your data to anyone without a court ordered warrant).

My library uses Libby, and it's great for the most part on any smart device.

If you do end up licensing (and it's a license, not a purchase). Amazon's Kindle store is good and has some exclusives.

This is what I do. First thing I do is check the library through Libby and if they don’t have it I’ll buy it for Kindle.
