You may also look into library networks. I have no idea whether it’s available where you are, but I started heavily using my local library’s ebooks online starting over the pandemic. I’ve read dozens of free ebooks without ever actually going there. That being said, every place is different and I believe library access is fairly local - you may want to see if there is such a thing where you are
Also, if you want to be a good citizen and not block others from checking out ebooks, I hear there are things you can do. Things like using Calibre+obok (or DeDRM, depending on device) to rip them from the reader device and remove the DRM. Then you can return the ebook to the library so others can use it, while being able to read it at your leisure.
I wouldn’t know, of course, but it seems like the polite thing to do.
