I'm going to be the curmudgeon here and say none of them work 'best' because they're all designed to keep you in their walled garden. The best experience I've had is using a simple, minimalist reader like ReadEra and sourcing my books independently. It handles every format flawlessly, has no ads in the free version, and is just a library and a reader. It doesn't try to sell you anything. You find the book yourself, you load it in, you read. The 'site' part is the entire internet. The 'reading' part is blissfully quiet and focused in the app.

A hidden gem is the 'Librera Reader' app on Android. It's open-source, supports a staggering array of formats (including comic book archives), and is endlessly configurable. It feels like the VLC Media Player of e-book readers—it just plays everything, and plays it well.

Google Play Books lets you upload your own EPUBs or PDFs for free and syncs across devices. So, you can find free EPUBs from places like Standard Ebooks or Project Gutenberg, upload them once, and then read in a fantastic, customizable mobile app. The app itself is top-tier for reading comfort. The free part is sourcing the books; the reading environment is excellent.

For serialized web novels, the app that lets you download dozens of chapters for offline reading with one tap wins. Some apps make you download each chapter individually, which is a pain. Others, like the app for 'The Wandering Inn' website, allow bulk downloads of entire arcs. When you know you'll be without signal, that kind of foresight in the app's design is the ultimate convenience. It shows the developers understand how people actually consume long-form online fiction.

I rely on RSS feeds and blogs like Freebook Sifter or The Fussy Librarian. They aggregate free Kindle deals. I browse the list on my phone, click through to Amazon, and get the book. It lives in my Kindle app for offline reading.
This method doesn't involve a dedicated 'reading site'—the sites are just discovery tools. The actual reading happens in the Kindle ecosystem. It's the most efficient way I've found to get a steady stream of free, often contemporary, ebooks onto my phone without paying anything.

Accessibility features are a big deal for me. Proper ebook files (EPUB) work with screen readers and allow for font and spacing adjustments. Reading a book directly on a poorly coded website often breaks those features. So for me, supporting offline reading isn't just about convenience; it's about access. I always seek out the downloadable version because it means I can read it in the way that's most comfortable for my eyes and my focus.

I'm a big fan of 'Serial Box' (now rebranded as 'Realm'). They produce high-quality, serialized audio dramas and ebooks. They often release the first episode or season of a series for free. You can download those free episodes in their app for offline listening/reading. It's a fantastic way to try their immersive, multi-voice productions without commitment.

It's a balancing act between library size and user experience. Project Gutenberg has everything public domain, but its mobile site is a relic. Google Play Books lets you upload EPUBs from any source for free and syncs your place across devices, which is a game-changer. The 'best' free sites are the ones that play nice with these middleman platforms, turning any free EPUB into a cloud-synced library book on your phone.
