I have a huge collection of fairly short stories (as PDFs) with accompanying audio (each one is about 5 minutes) as well as the Polish translation of one of my favorite novels (in ebook format) that I bought online from Empik (which is an amazing website for audibooks and ebooks in Polish).

Kiedyś wrócisz tu..., cz. II: By szukać swoich dróg i gwiazd (C1)

I do know of textbooks meant for advanced students of Polish who want to improve their ability in reading comprehension but these aren't conventional textbooks like "Kiedyś wrócisz tu...".

- Kto czyta - nie błądzi. Podręcznik do nauki języka polskiego. Ćwiczenia rozwijające sprawność czytania (B2, C1) (focuses on improving reading comprehension)
- Na łamach prasy, cz. I. Podręcznik do nauki języka polskiego. Ćwiczenia rozwijające sprawność czytania (C2) (focuses on improving reading comprehension with newspaper articles)
- Na łamach prasy, cz. II. Podręcznik do nauki języka polskiego. Ćwiczenia rozwijające sprawność czytania (C2) (focuses on improving reading comprehension with newspaper articles)
- Per aspera ad astra. Podręcznik do nauki języka polskiego. Ćwiczenia rozwijające sprawność czytania (C1) (focuses on improving reading comprehension)

Each of these titles is in the target language.

Mr.RealPolish has been an absolute godsend for me. I initially attempted to learn Polish by attending a language school in Krakow and spending 2 months in Poland. I got a survival level of Polish which I immediately forgot upon returning to my own country. I had zero listening comprehension ability. Couldn't find any good online resources at that time, but this past year I have been devouring the resources made by "Mr. Real Polish". Worth every penny.

1) Mr. Real Polish. I started out with his 100 Daily Stories for absolute beginners and I'm now more than halfway through the 365 stories for intermediate learners. The best resource I've ever been able to find for Polish. After ~7 months (650+ hours) I was surprised to find that I could understand most of what I overhead on a Polish news program and can understand everything my family says to each other in Polish (previously I had no comprehension whatsoever).

2) Easy Polish (from the youtube channel series "Easy Languages"). They conduct street interviews on a different topic, each video is captioned in both Polish and English. I've been using this to train myself to understand the high-speed of spoken Polish.

3) iTunes has a few free Polish podcast series: (a) Bloggy Polish, and (b) Polski z Grazyna.
