Thanks for the replies

I do have Wi-Fi and access to an iMac but I prefer not to use it as it's difficult for me and I just use my iPhone 15+ to download Books From torrents/Forums
I downloaded to the phone and AirDrop it to my iPad Air4
Can this be done with other e-readers that have Bluetooth? Has it very convenient for me?

Besides thex boox air note 3, are there any other 10 inch he readers that are better?
If all 10 inch readers have the pen/stylus, that's fine
I just don't require colour if B&W is better quality
My budget would be £400-500, I am in the UK

As I'm in the Apple ecosystem, I'd prefer not to go for android he
The iPad is always on a stand, so I never have to hold it so the 10 inch size isn't a problem for me
Thanks

They can download via WiFi using the limited functionality Browser.
Not quite true. The original Kobo ereader had Bluetooth and was designed to accompany a blackberry phone and accept files from it. One could also send files from a PC via Bluetooth.

If you can get it/epub to your Apples and you have wifi, you can get it to google drive, and from there some of the newer Kobos have built in Google drive support.

If you wanted to go with Amazon and don't mind registering an Amazon Scribe, you could use email to send epubs to a Scribe.

And just a friendly reminder, help with getting pirated material is verboten is this forum.

And how about this...

Download an epub to your iPhone.
Plug a cable from your iPhone to Kobo
Use the files app on the iPhone to transfer the epub to your kobo.

I just tried this with an iPhone 15 and a Clara 2e, and it worked. Hopefully there are no database issues from just unplugging the cable.

The iPhone doesn't have an eject/unmount option?

Odd since my iPhone 4 with iOS 4.3 did allow tethering back in 2011. If it was being blocked by the company supplying your connection, it likely would not have worked with any device.
