Rebecca most of my kids' favorites probably skew too young to appeal to mac, but they like The Unwanteds series. That one seems to have a bigger age range in its appeal. And Isaac read and loved the old Robin Hood.
What about Atul Gawande's Better? That's written for adults but I don't think the language or concepts would be a barrier, and his basic message is medicine is not perfect, it may not even be perfectible, but when practiced with diligence, it gets better and better.
Ta-Nehisi Coates' Between the World and I is written to his 15 year old son.

If you can download ebooks to your device, you need to back them up somewhere else in case Amazon or B&N decide to take them away. Back 'em up to a cloud service or your laptop/desktop. Then you can use Calibre to strip the DRM:

Incidentally, my Fitbit counted 3757 steps while the Zombies, Run app on my phone came up with 4761. Hm.
Have you calibrated your Fitbit? (I haven't calibrated mine, but I know it's an option.)
