I'm looking for recommendations. I usually use Overdrive with books I've downloaded (I think in the epub format). But now I hear that Overdrive is no longer being supported (I think the company wants people to use their Libby app instead). I'm hoping to find something open source and privacy minded. Also not wild about what Overdrive is doing to public libraries

I use Kindle and Hoopla to read borrowed library books. On iPad I use MapleRead, which is my definite favorite app because it allows a lot more choice in terms of density. I do most of my reading on Android because my ereader is Android and it's just better than LCD/OLED for reading, and I use MoonReader there. I don't love it compared to MapleRead, but after a lot of experimentation it's the least bad I found on Android.

I'll also add scribd. It's a subscription service, and discoverability kind of sucks balls, but the library is OK and I usually find 20-30 books a month on there to read that aren't available from my library.
