I've had good luck with this. I buy books, and occasionally go to my library and download the books to my desktop for the day I change devices. Adept helps with the DRM stuff, and knock with the even worse ASCM DRM crap. Manage it all in Calibre.

Some books I move to a reMarkable and read them there; technical books, mainly, because they're easier to read in large format - code examples, formulas, etc., are better on a bigger screen.
