I have ebooks on my phone that I read when I can’t get Internet.
What apps do you use to read your ebooks?
Libby for books from the library. Moon reader for other epubs.
Koreader on FDroid.
Putting in my vote for Librera reader here. Also on f-droid
If you like chess puzzles: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/jwtc.android.chess/
It’s a full-featured chess app, but what’s nice about it is that it’s also got a large amount of short chess puzzles that are available offline (unlike lichess).
I’ll be the old stodger voice and mention that taking 5 minutes from time to time to not be stimulated is good for mental health, and apparently creativity too.
… And then I’ll put in my vote for Simon Tatham’s puzzle collection. (In F-droid as Puzzles, app by Chris Boyle)
Just a nice collection of quick, simple puzzles. A perfect time killer. It’s a staple that I’ve got on all the devices in my old 2000s PDA collection since it was also built for Windows Mobile and PalmOS.
