Some counterfeit phones might have built-in reading software that could be used to view e-books. If you don't have a built-in reader software, you can try to download a third-party reader such as an APK file. These readers can be found in the mobile app store. Some online reading platforms also support reading e-books. You can register an account on these platforms and download the corresponding reader. For example, he could register an account on Qidian Chinese Network, Xiaoxiang Academy, and other websites to download the corresponding reader to read the novel. If the counterfeit phone doesn't have a built-in e-book function or it's not convenient to download reading software or online reading platforms, you can consider buying some e-book readers such as the Kindle or iBooks for the iOS system to read novels.
