I live in Germany and can’t find a way to buy Japanese eBooks. Does someone know where I can buy them? I have a VPN but I don’t want to create a Fake address / Phone number in Japan.
At the Moment I’m interested in Majo No takkyubin, kagami No kojo and kieta hatsukoi. I found them on verasia.de. But I prefer eBooks over the Print Version.
I also read Manga and light novels.
I use BookWalker. You don’t need fake address/phone number or VPN (unless you’re into BL). Bookwalker has a web reader and a mobile app you can read on.
Here’s Kiki’s Delivery Service if you want to explore the site:
Thanks for the Link. Ist IT possible to Turn the language to English?
The Japan store is offered only in Japanese. Do you need help?

I Just started learning Japanese and understand nothing yet.
I have Problems (Motivation) to learn vocabularies the traditional way (flashcards). So I thought that maybe Reading a book I’m interested in would Help me to learn more words deliberately.
I know about the graded Readers but they are very expensive and I’m Not Sure If I would Like them.
Have you considered joining a book club here on the forum? People are very helpful with answering questions.
I have. But I’m Not Sure If I’m ready for that yet. If I Join a book Club I have to Finish a certain amount of Pages on a certain Date, right?
You could try go through one of the old ones - a lot of people will have asked questions already and those may overlap with what you want to know, and if you have new questions yourself someone will probably still see it even if you post in an old thread.
You could also just try an ongoing one and see how it goes. If you can’t keep up completely it’s fine to be behind a bit.
They’ve read Kiki twice, so I imagine every conceivable question has been asked 
For translating to English on Bookwalker, I’m not sure what browser you use, but the Microsoft Edge browser has it’s own Translate function (for me, there’s an icon just to the right of the address bar). Like any machine translation of Japanese to English, it’s not perfect, but it’s good enough that I occasionally use it when i want to make sure I’m not misreading something - like when I’m making a purchase and want to be certain I’m not making a mistake with payments.
That said, I’d advise trying to get used to browsing without the translator as soon as you can. The less you have to rely on English, the better - it’s great practice to just try to browse titles or reading samples in Japanese, even if you don’t end up buying anything!
The book clubs run on a weekly schedule (I think, usually?), so they try to read a certain number of pages per week. That said, you don’t have to finish them by a certain date. I just finished my first book club, the ABBC’s Card Captor Sakura Volume 1 club, and there were a couple weeks where I fell behind a bit. The earlier weekly threads were still active even during later weeks, so if you do fall behind, you can still post questions/discussion points on the older boards and get answers there.
There’s a brand new ABBC club that just started, in case you wanted to check it out. This is the home thread for it, which will have links at the beginning to each of the weekly threads: ドラえもん ・ Doraemon 🤖 (Absolute Beginner Book Club) [reading starts Dec 14th!]
Reading Samples is a great Idea. I will test with them first If my Idea to learn vocabulary by Reading books is a good Idea. Maybe it’s still to early for “normal” books without furigana.
I’m able to get free Samples on amazon.co.jp when I use the VPN. Don’t know yet If paying will also Work.
