Miscellaneous language material inquiries!

Hi, I actually have asked some of the following questions before in my respective language logs, but I think they got buried under my lengthy posts and went unanswered. Ok:
1. I need good recommendations for German and French B2 and C1 testing test-preparation materials. I have look around a bit but I can't really see the books, and/or the descriptions are non-existent, well at least on Amazon. In any event there are plenty of French and German learners here so I am asking for you to take just a moment of your time and recommend something to me. I don't need a detailed description, a recommended title and publisher along with a sentence or two on what makes the material a good buy will suffice.
2. For those with Android phones, what typing keyboards do you like the best? I am not satisfied with my current downloaded ones, I can't type whole phrases or sentences with them, I have to type a word and select it before typing the next word. But the build in keyboard (Samsung Galaxy S7E), while I can type longer phrases, only allows for four language keyboards at any time. I need a keyboard with 8 or 9 language toggle and where I can write full phrases or sentences without having to choose every word when typing something out.
3. I am going to buy an e-reader finally. My question is what is the best "Ecosystem" for finding books in many foreign languages? That is to say, which of the formats has the most variety of titles available without restrictions for someone in the United States. I don't want to commit to some system and then find out I can't purchase a lot of the foreign language stuff, or that their variety is limited compared to others.
Thank you!
