I also use Books (formerly iBooks) on an iPad mini, I got that as an
anniversary gift from Megacorp in like 2017. The Kindle app I don't
care for. Actually, Overdrive browser app isn't bad at all. I use that
sometimes when I have checked out a book from the library but haven't
downloaded it and transferred to Books.

One advantage to e-books is the ability to look up words or phrases.
That's especially useful with some UK books that have vernacular I
don't fully understand.
