I read a wide variety of books, both fiction and nonfiction. What apps are suggested for downloading books? I have always read books in print. Is I Books the best, how about Amazon?? I need some help and advice with this. Thanks

I've always used the Kindle app on my iPads. Most of my books come from Amazon's eBook store. The books download from Amazon to my Kindle cloud account and I can read them on all of my devices - 2 iPads, Android phone, and Windows 10 laptop.

I choose Kobo, because it is not Apple or Amazon. But I also use Apple, Amazon, and BN/Nook.

Bookbub is a daily ebook-sale email you can tailor to your interests.

I use the kindle app on my iPad 10.5 and on my other iPads before this. Truthfully though, I find it much more enjoyable and easy to read the same books on a basic kindle paper white. No glare, low power consumption, more compact form factor and just easier to read. Download the app for sure but do yourself a favor and at least consider the kindle readers as well.

I have a Kindle reader. I also have the free Kindle app on both my iPad and iPhone. I can start reading a book on one device and pick it up on another -- as long as the Kindle reader is within reach of a wifi network, all the devices will sync to the last page that I have read on any of them, so I can start a book on the Kindle reader at home and continue it on my phone in the doctor's waiting room, or wherever.

They also support free book loans from the county library, as well as free reading from Amazon prime.

Kindle is the app to use and check out "e-inc.overdrive.com" to see if your local library is listed. They have a very large selection of library books available, typically for a 14 day loan.

Thanks for the help. I will go and look at the Kindle readers and perhaps pick one of those up as well. I did not know that you could use both. My vision is not all that great and do not want to fatigue my eyes.

The Kindle Paperwhite combined with apps on iPad or phone is hard to beat. No more fatigue than a paper book but way lighter. As long as the Kindle is connected to WIFI or if a 3G one that they sync seemlessly across platforms, with a simple confirmation prompt when you go from one to the next verifying you want to sync to furthest page read.

Love it.

Only downside is the occasional book with illustrations that are relevant and I’d like to see. No great on that.

I use Overdrive to d/l ebooks from my library and Aldiko for epubs that I get from Baen and others.

I do most of my reading in google books on both my iPad and my Android phone.

I also use iBooks and the public library.
