My Kobo (Libra2) is my first ereader, never had a Kindle. I chose Kobo because I can use it to borrow epubs from the library. I primarily borrow ebooks from the library! It only is available in certain countries. If it works in your country, all you will need is your local library card. You make an Overdrive account with your library card info, and then you can go to the Overdrive section of your Kobo to borrow books. Kobo has an information page about Overdrive. Overdrive also syncs with the smartphone app Libby, so if you borrow an app using Libby, it should show up on your Kobo. More on reddit.com

Excellent writeup! I'd also like to add, if the author doesn't put it out for free, there is a reason. Usually their livelyhood depends on this. I don't condone piracy in ANY form. But in a case like this, you aren't taking a few bucks away from a multimillion dollar corperation. You're taking it out of someone's paycheck. Someone who produced interesting enough work for you to want to read it. More on reddit.com

You can legally download material that's in the public domain for free. Try the various Project Gutenberg sites, Internet Archive, Google Books, Faded Page, etc. I'm currently reading the entire Harvard Classics and Harvard Classics Shelf of Fiction series as my main reading project because all of the books in both series are in the public domain.
