I see that Apple derangement Syndrome is alive and well. The ebook market is under effective monopoly control by Amazon. But leaving old dead horses in their grave...
All my reading devices are Apple. I subscribe to Apple Music and Apple Music Match. I'll rent movies from whatever device is convenient...since it's just rental and you don't keep it.
But Amazon's security has been hacked and Apple's has not (or apparently was hacked and then re-buttoned up). Regardless...Apple sells the same books for the same prices as Amazon. Ergo...it's better for me to stick with the vendor where I can "liberate" my books should I ever need to (haven't in a really long time).
I also buy music CD's from Amazon because they "auto-rip" them placing the digital files in my Amazon library. It's nice (and yet odd) as and CD I'm buying is most surely a gift for someone else.
FWIW - the HomePod sounds really nice for it's size and price. My wife who isn't a technophile of any sort, nor an audiophile...she instantly could tell the big step up in sound quality from my $400 bluetooth speaker from Hardon Kardon.
