too much like actually owning something.

Looks like Z-Library continues to be the winning option.
Considering Amazon is an American company, as a Canadian I currently have no qualms ignoring IP or rights holdings of an organization that supports a fascist takeover of my country.

And I suppose they also trust none of their books will be removed by amazon, despite evidence in contrary that Amazon sometimes does that.

It is not like they want to. It is the legal wars that ruin it.

Check their libraries for their favourite authors. Get them a Kobo. Load it up with their favourite author's bodies of work before giving it to them. Problem solved.

You gotta actually break the procurement cycle where they receive books free to own themselves and it's not some janky copy before they realise this way is better
