"In case you don’t know… there’s an app called LibriVox. From it, you can download thousands of free audiobooks."

Thanks, but I don't like audio books. I tried them while driving, and didn't enjoy them, and I'm not one to sit and listen to an audio book. I prefer holding a book in my hands when I read them, giving them my complete attention.

I'm a history buff, and read a lot of sourced books with many chapter notes. I also read other genres as well, most of them being a part of various series of my preferable authors...a lot of them British. I usually have 4 actual books going at once that I read during the day, plus two on my kindle each night. I've been reading since I was four...in the 50's. To me it was magical to go through the bookshelves at the library. I've also done a lot of historical research. I traveled regularly to the National Archives as well as historical societies, college manuscript collections, and library holdings. There's something about being hands-on that has always interested me.

I can relate. But I have insomnia. When in bed for the night, I find listening to an audiobook better than counting these guys:
