Way better than a kindle would be whatever size Onyx Boox tablet that works for you. E-ink has come a,long way.
Ishmael by Daniel Quinn is fiction but you’re right about it being eye opening, If you’re interested in exploring similar concepts but in non-fiction I would recommend:
Civilized to Death by Christopher Ryan
The Culture of Make Believe by Derrick Jensen
A Short History of Progress by Ronald Wright
I use Astraweb because I can buy 1000GB at a time that doesn’t expire so I avoid the monthly fees. Works well for me as I don’t do a high volume and it removes any feeling of pressure to use it more than I need.
https://archive.md/ gets around way more paywalls. Highly recommend it.
watchreplay.net works for NBA. Haven’t ever found a site that works for other sports.
I think you’re pretty unlikely to find anything else. I doubt it’s worth the effort for sites given people want their sport live.
I’m into tennis and I’ve had to subscribe in order to watch replays outside my timezone.
