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.

Depends on what I'm reading, but I prefer side-loading to my Kobo Libra via Calibre-web. I'm currently taking advantage of a Kindle Unlimited sale and that means I'm reading on an older Android tablet, my phone, or if I'm feeling organized, a Kindle Oasis.

When I do read on my phone, maybe something from Project Gutenberg or Smashwords, it's Librera Reader FD - it's on F-Droid and it's awesome.

If you can, try and find a semi-dedicated reading device as it'll let you focus on what you're reading. The biggest downside to your phone is that you can do other things - like checking Lemmy.
