literally any ereader will do. just get the ones that go around for 40 dollars

I recommend buying an ereader that has built-in light. Its very useful for reading in the dark or low light places.
You will save so much money reading in an ereader, the battery last long, you can take notes, you have dictionaries in it, can "carry" thousands of books with no weight.

Yeah, I was in the same boat as OP, but I saw an older woman get hit by a car and scooped up her kindle before the ambulance arrived. Best decision I ever made.

I got the Paper White, its nice. Gots a backlight that has a wide range setting also can have it off.

That mixed with Free software Calibre its great

People are saying buy e reader but what if the book is only in pdf? or what about the fact that many books are badly formated with too many typos and it is apaintoredlikeths?

Plenty of devices out there that's not just Kindle. Though it's gonna be costly. Amazon Kindle only have 6 inch screen and the native PDF reader is atrocious. I would spend $200 and get something like the Likebook Mars, an android e-reader, has full playstore support with decent native reader.

Get a kindle or other e-reader. Join a private tracker like MyAnonyMouse (MAM). Download Calibre, put the free ebooks in your Calibre library. Transfer them to your kindle. Profit.

Wait for the next kindle sale and you'll be golden.
