Mobile data but my plan is limited so I'm sparing it.

Yep get a torrent program on your phone and torrent books. Low data to hours of enjoyment ratio. Get a variety from fiction to language learning.

edit: also gutenberg.org for classics and others out of copyright.

Hemingway is pretty good. So is Tolkien. Also anything Medieval. Check out s/books.

Unfortunately not, I'm learning a second language though so there's that. My service provider is fucking awful and always happens to go out during times it's needed most. I was watching a live speech from the government once and just as it started my internet cut out, then came back on again as soon as it ended. Customer service is shite, they refer you to a status page where it says there's something wrong in the area and an estimated time it's fixed. Though this "estimated time" is a bullshit lie, because it constantly gets longer and longer.

You can't phone them, because if you do you get referred to an indian call centre where they can hardly understand you. Literally speak broken English. They don't even compensate you for the time lost, even though this is clearly stated in their guidelines that they don't even adhere to. Worst thing? They have contracts with other providers, these other providers will help you leave the current company you're with unless you're with this one specifically.

A bit of a rant but yea... I'm eating a sandwich and cursing to myself in Russian right now. So sick of this fucking garbage service. Tried contacting them on their site but you only ever get copy/pasted responses.
