Load your eBooks on a cloud server such as Dropbox or Onedrive and using the cloud storage app, you can download to iBooks/Books (depending on which iPad OS). It also means you can keep the software on your computer up-to-date.
Keeping the software on my computer sounds like an absolute dream and I would 100% like to go in that direction if it's possible. This back and forth between old versions is just a headache.

My iPad is really old. I'm not even sure what OS version it is but think of literally the first gen iPad Mini and feel it's age. So basically any app does not work on it. Netflix, Disney+, the whole she-bang. I'm surprised Spotify and Amazon Prime is still working. Hahahaha.

I did find an app called Calibro which you can apparently synv with Dropbox to use? The only issue is my Dropbox doesn't have a lot of space.

Would you know of anything (like even any cloud server) that could work well with my ancient iPad?
