As others have said, I doubt that you want to do a ton of reading books actually 'online' in a browser--but you sure can if you choose to.
Here are three common, easy-to-access options for reading 'online' books in your browser (there are many more):
* If you buy Amazon Kindle ebooks--you can read them in their 'cloud reader' (browser)
* If you buy Google Play ebooks--you can read them in your browser
* If you read free ebooks at Gutenberg.org--you can read them in your browser
Since you run Android, you probably want to download an app like one of the following examples that I'd recommend to read ebooks on your device:
* Amazon Kindle app: For Amazon-purchased ebooks
* Kobo app: For ebooks you purchase at Kobo, probably one of the best ebook stores that's an alternative to Amazon.
* Readera app: A free, very lightweight Android ebook reader that can read ebooks in many of the popular formats (you'd use this app for 'free' ebooks or any that have had the encryption removed)
After you get used to working with ebooks, you'll want to learn to use a free, open source software app called Calibre to manage the ebooks in your library, convert them to other formats, etc. For example, I use Calibre to remove the encryption from all the ebooks I purchase, not to do anything illegal, but simply so that I can convert the books I have bought to other formats and read them on any device that I choose. After you get used to working with ebooks and choose a favorite ebook store, Calibre will be a really useful tool to do things like buy books from other places, convert them all to a single common format such as epub, and read them all on your favorite device and your favorite reading app.
