Windows 10: Set up a laptop as an e-reader

I have converted several of my subscriptions to digital. I used to read these publications in the evening in my lounge chair and I'd like to resume that habit.

Concurrently, I upgraded my travel laptop to a fantastic Dell 7470 (retired from its first job elsewhere) which has a touch screen and fantastic resolution.

It occurred to me that I can meld these. I have avoided the Windows 10 Tile interface to date and have no idea how to use it.

So, what is a good way for me to learn about using the interface, now that most of the sites have taken down their basic introductory tutorials, and what hints would you have for me? I'm thinking I'd just stick each web link in a tile, so it could be clicked on and there would be the publication. The web sites allow me to stay signed in.

I would love to have any advice you can share.

:)
