      most of mine are pirated but it probably is a skill issue, some kind of configuration mistake or something

        Maybe its checking that you have rights for your books, and then enters some thonk of doom spiral

    There are some open source ones on Android, but I don't think iOS is open-source friendly. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.github.axet.bookreader/

    The kindle app for iPad is pretty good alternative. It also saves progress across multiple devices. Of course, it means you’ll need an Amazon account and feed your data to papa lord-bezos-amused
