Can you load ebook apps onto the phone from a PC, as the phone would not be activated? Or can an unactivated phone use wifi to do this?

Yes, you can use it unactivated. It doesn't need activation unless you want to use the cellular connection.
I've got a Boost Mobile LG Volt which I bought last year on "Black Friday" for $30 and which has never been activated with the carrier. I use it more for music & audiobooks, but it's registered to a Google Play account which gives it access to all of the apps offered there, including Calibre Companion and dozens of reader apps.
