Anybody know of an ebook reader that actually works? (sh.itjust.works)

I can't find one. I've tried about a dozen across Linux and Android, not a single one is even remotely usable. It may be that epub is a write-only format?

If everyone smells like shit, check your own boot. Have you tried literally ANY other ebook? Or tried a different means of transferring to the ereader? Or a different source for ebooks?

I will say this dysfunctional ebook that isn't working on anything might make a great litmus test for choosing an ereader that will work the best in the worst digital conditions, for making a long-term choice. Than again, my uncle always said "Practicing on a shit tool, only trains you to use a shit tool." That might be extrapolated to optimizing a tool to run in shit conditions or on a shit project.
