Do you subscribe to Book Bub's e-mail? They offer free and reducd-price
e-books in whatever genres you care to follow. They show me e-pubbed cook
books ... which I have grabbed one or two of to access with my Calibre
desktop e-reader so I can cut & paste like I do from web sites.

My Asus all use Linux for the OS. If I'm doing Zoom I'd rather use my
Lenovo Think/Idea Pad w/the built-in camera and microphone.
It's also handy if I am hospitalised. Since I network my Meal Monster
with the desktop tower my recipe bases are pretty much up to date.
