If so, how do you do it? Do you use Google Play books or use apps like PDF file readers? I'm only 19 and I'm interested to start my reading hobby. Though I can also grab some books on a close bookstore nearby, I am also interested to do it digitally.

I usually download an epub of the book and put it on my Kavita server, then read from my phone.

    The link Axolotl replied with is it. Its a selfhosted server software that you host on one machine and access from others. You access it via its webui on your browser, and it gives you a browser based reader for all your ebook and manga files. The benefit to that is its device independent. You can pick up and keep reading from anything with a browser.

    Kavita sounds awesome! I see that you can send files to a device for offline reading. Do you know if you do that, if your reading state re-syncs to the server when you go back online?

    I did not tried it yet (i still need to buy the hardware for my home server which is a pain in the ass with all these price spikes of...well everthing) but it seems so from the demo site + there is also sync with Anilist/MAL as the site says
