It's foolish to think open source isn't possible on Android.
Music: Newpipe (casual), Seeker (hq) to save locally. Vanilla to play local music. Blade if you're paying Spotify or want Deezer's library.

I tested all FOSS music players and concluded they're all imperfect
Blade is unique as it can play songs from your local and Spotify/Deezer libraries. You could even think of it as a lightweight FOSS Spotify/Deezer client. It has limited features and an old UI. Opening the "Folders" menu and choosing Internal Storage crashes the app. It doesn't have gapless playback and can't exclude folders. Luckily, Blade v2 written from scratch seems to be on its way.

Librum: Open-Source e-book platform
I've been rather happy with Librera, although when reading foreign languages, I prefer KOReader for its locally installed dictionary lookups (you have to add them). Note that these are both reader software, first, and not advanced library management packages (as far as I know).
The last I checked, Librera also had two versions on the Play store, with the paid pro (or whatever) version sending a few dollars towards the Ukrainian developer. Who's been donating to the defense efforts since the war started. Or was; that language now appears to be gone from the web site.
Anyway, for those not familiar with FDroid and/or who want to contribute to development other that via PayPal -- or, looks like now that would be Patreon.

For those who asked: Humble Bundle is another source of DRM-free ebooks.

Accessibility barriers with Kindle leave me wanting DRM-free books to read. Can anyone recommend authors who have their work available through something that isn't Kindle? I'm more than willing to pay for books.
On Android, the text-to-speech I find is better with https://librera.mobi/

I finally tried librera and i have questions
Looks like it has been suggested at least once on GitHub. Maybe give a +1 to that issue to show interest?
