Libraries here are mainly run and funded by local authorities with some State assistance. So, what you say is correct, you have to have an address in that local authority area to access the library.
University libraries are public, but I don't know how you access them as whan I used to I was a student anyway.
You mentioned in a previous post the desire to read in bed. I think you may find two bad things about reading a tablet in bed. (1) They are very heavy and ungainly, (2), they are very bright and glary, very hard on the eyes for a lot of reading.
The Calibre software is excellent for E-book management. With it you can add or remove books from your e-Book device plus you can easily change formats of e-books. That is assuming those books are not DRM'd, even if they are there are plug ins that allow you to strip the DRM and change the format.
So, what ever e-book you like will be good. Pick them up, feel the weight, do a few page turns and see how the controls are and choose the best for you.
