I've read ebooks on a wide range of devices for over two decades. My current preference is a dedicated ereader. I still use and older Kindle, a K3 or Kindle Keyboard. There are times, though, when I use my MS Surface Go as a reader. I generally only use it for those few books that I have in PDF format, though since my "antique" Kindle lacks its own illumination I've been using the Surface for proper ebooks (e.g. ePub and the various Amazon formats like AZW3 and MOBI) while my wife & I are in temporary digs (my brother-in-law's house) where there are no good seating locations with decent reading light.

I usually use Freda as my reader on Windows, though I occasionally use BookBazaarReader for PDFs. I keep calibre and the master copy of my calibre library on my Surface and can easily export (read: calibre's Save-to-Disk function) any book to access in Freda, converting to ePub if necessary. Otherwise, I just connect the Kindle and Send-to-Device, again converting to AZW3 if the "master" ebook file is ePub.
