You're literally just describing libraries...They have an app called Libby, it's linked to your local library and let's you borrow eBooks directly.

FWIW, in the US at least, you don't have to live in the area to register for membership with any municipal library and you can have a many as you want.

Using Libby (et al), I can pretty easily find the book I'm looking for —or, then go look at Anna's, etc. 🖖🏼

If in US, support your local library and use Libby with your library card. Libraries offer lots of free stuff. Besides that, I can’t answer you question, sorry.

Zlibrary, they have a app as well.

Smashwords has frequent sales where you can find good books or sometimes entire series for 100% off sometimes.

god i miss podiobooks back in the early 2000s :(

just browse a book reviews site or a book store website and then pirate what you like. the electronic library has a telegram bot you can set up and you just need to give it a title to get the book

Get a larger computer or monitor then, or one of these other suggestions
