Sometimes you just have to step back and say "damn, the Internet Archive is the best thing ever on the internet"

Give them money!

To add to your last sentence, you can setup recurring donations and they are tax deductible. They are one of my favorite sites to donate to.
So what's Ubooquity do for a tablet reader? It isn't clear from the site ...
It displays books and PDFs as web pages with large hot spots to turn pages. It takes just a few minutes to set up so it's worth it to give it a whirl.
I do wish somebody would crank out an easy to use desktop GUI tool for this.

edit this will make it better
