× Actually pretty much both but mostly I guess enjoy reading on ebooks as it offers numerous aspects which I find really interesting.
✓ Actually I enjoy both, but I mostly prefer reading e-books because they offer many features that I find interesting.
The original sentence has incorrect conjunction use and awkward sentence structure ('pretty much both but mostly I guess enjoy' is confusing). 'but' must join two clauses clearly. Also 'ebooks' should be hyphenated or written 'e-books' and verb agreement: 'it offers' should be 'they offer' to agree with plural 'e-books'. Rephrase to a clear comparative structure: 'I enjoy both, but I mostly prefer...' and change 'numerous aspects' to 'many features' for natural English.
× For instance it's very eco friendly and also I can read everywhere and at any time.
✓ For instance, they are very eco-friendly, and I can read them everywhere and at any time.
The original mixes singular and plural references and omits a comma after 'For instance'. 'E-books' (plural) requires the plural verb 'are' and pronoun 'them'. 'Eco friendly' should be hyphenated as 'eco-friendly'. Add 'them' after 'read' to specify the object.
× I usually read online in the evening time when I get a bit free time to reduce my stress and tranquil my body.
✓ I usually read online in the evening when I have a bit of free time to reduce my stress and relax my body.
Use present simple 'have' not 'get' for habitual actions; 'evening time' is more natural as 'evening'; 'a bit free time' should be 'a bit of free time'. 'Tranquil my body' is incorrect collocation — use 'relax my body' or 'calm myself'.
× It would be great fun if I can do so because I was a bit fascinated about reading online, so if I can do in the future I will be personally delighted.
✓ It would be great if I could do so, because I have become fascinated with reading online, so if I can do it in the future I will be very delighted.
Conditional sentence requires past subjunctive 'could' after 'would be'. 'Was a bit fascinated about' is awkward; use present perfect 'have become fascinated with' to show ongoing interest. Add 'it' after 'do' and replace 'personally delighted' with 'very delighted' for natural phrasing.
× I enjoy reading online several topics including my textbooks and also some stories and all apart from that along with I also like some novels.
✓ I enjoy reading several kinds of material online, including my textbooks, some short stories, and novels.
Original has incorrect word order and excess fillers ('and all apart from that along with'). Use 'reading several kinds of material' and list items with commas. 'Some stories' is vague; 'short stories' fits better. Remove redundant 'also' and streamline the sentence.
× There are several way is different we do online to paper because I think reading in paper it boasts your concentrates and also build your patience.
✓ There are several ways in which reading online differs from reading on paper, because I think reading on paper improves concentration and builds patience.
The original sentence has multiple structure errors: 'several way is different we do online to paper' is ungrammatical. Use 'ways in which' and 'differs from'. 'Reading in paper' should be 'reading on paper'. 'Boasts your concentrates' is incorrect; use 'improves concentration'. Also change 'build your patience' to 'builds patience' for subject-verb agreement.
× On the other hand reading online.
✓ On the other hand, reading online is more convenient and faster.
This sentence fragment lacks a verb and object. Complete the thought by adding a verb and complements (e.g., 'is more convenient and faster'). Add a comma after 'On the other hand'.
