I tend to agree with the cross-garden approach.

A Kobo e-Reader (e-ink?) was my first introduction to reading e-books on anything but a PC. Loved it. It also inspired me to put all of the books and stories I'd written to good use and self-publish, but that's another story.

When the Kobo e-Reader died -- okay, it died an accidental death under my foot -- I took to a Kobo tablet. Secondhand, it lasted all of two months and now sits in its own crypt fashioned from the bedside dresser's top drawer. Touchscreen doesn't work, but it allowed me to access other reading apps: Amazon, Kobo, FBReader, Libby, and the list goes on.

Nowadays, I use a Lenovo 10" tablet to read on my choice of either Kobo, Google Books, Libby, Overdrive... and if I dare... Amazon (yuck from me).

I used to read Apple Books on my iPhone, but as mentioned above, their walled garden makes it hard to backup the books I have actually purchased -- so I sucked that up and now stick to everything but Apple.
