I read a lot of web novels and serials. Sites like Royal Road and SpaceBattles have mobile themes that are perfectly readable. They're designed for forum-style updates, so you're just scrolling through chapter posts. It's not a traditional book website, but for ongoing free fiction, the mobile experience is quite good.
Strictly from a UX perspective, I lean towards the mobile browser version of Internet Archive's Open Library. The 'Read Online' viewer lets you flip pages with a swipe, and the text contrast is excellent. The lending system for modern books can be clunky, but for the out-of-copyright stuff you can just dive right in. It's not as minimalist as some, but it feels robust.
I'm surprised no one's mentioned the Internet Archive's general collection more strongly. Beyond Open Library, you can find tons of scanned books. Their mobile book reader is decent—you can view as plain text, which reflows for mobile, or flip through the original scanned pages. It's a unique experience, almost like a digital archive visit on your phone.
Archive of Our Own (AO3) for fanfiction is arguably one of the best-designed free reading sites for mobile. Their entire system, from tags to the reading view, works impeccably in a mobile browser. You can customize fonts, colors, and spacing. It puts many professional ebook platforms to shame with its user-centric design.

Don't sleep on library apps! Libby is a game-changer. You link your local library card and borrow ebooks and audiobooks directly. The app handles holds, notifications, and returns automatically. The reading interface is super customizable—font, size, background color, spacing.
It feels just like buying a book from Kindle or Apple Books, but it's free. The selection depends on your library's budget, but mine has a huge catalog. For pure, legal, high-quality mobile reading, it's hard to beat this model.
I wish more free platforms offered a 'send to Kindle' or 'send to Kobo' button right next to the download links. That one-click transfer to my preferred, optimized reading app would bridge the gap between source and ideal reading environment seamlessly.
Let's not forget about dark mode. A true, easy-to-activate dark mode or theme selector is a hallmark of a mobile-friendly reading site. Staring at a bright white screen in a dark room is painful. Some sites have a simple toggle; others require you to dig into settings or don't offer it at all, forcing you to rely on your phone's system-wide inversion, which often breaks images and layout.
Platforms that treat dark mode as a first-class feature, with properly calibrated dark gray backgrounds and warm-toned text instead of pure black and white, demonstrate a higher level of polish. It's a comfort feature that becomes essential for night-time readers. Comparing sites, I immediately check for this. If it's missing or poorly implemented, I downgrade my opinion of their mobile commitment significantly.
Apple Books also has a decent selection of free titles, including classics and some promotional contemporary works. If you're on iPhone, the integration is seamless. The storefront highlights free picks, and you can download them directly into your Books library. The reading app is quite good, with nice page-turning animations and syncing.
It's often overlooked because people assume everything on Apple costs money. Browsing their 'Top Free' charts can surface some interesting reads you wouldn't find elsewhere. For a completely integrated, no-fuss experience on iOS, it's a solid option that requires no extra apps or logins.
