Many or most of those can't even be bought if you have only eink. Some download as azw, no doubt fixed layout mobi. I managed to get a "free" one that had no DRM and downloaded it for K4PC, long ago. Naturally attempting to view it on a DXG or converting to epub was a mess. Only fixable by wordprocessor.

I can see a need for some text books or manuals to be fixed layout (essentially a PDF) but really people publishing fiction in fixed layout to exactly copy a printed layout are delusional.
