Many times, I have seen this question about a good source of Odia texts online, including books and magazines.
There is no better time than now to start a thread on such sites. In these, you can read books, magazines or both.
Will request others to add to the thread

First and the most comprehensive is, of course, Odia Bibhaba by Srujanika. You can get the most comprehensive range of books and many early Odia magazines here, as well as the Shabdakoshas.

Another interesting, though comparatively new site is the government-owned Odia Virtual Academy, ova.gov.in/de/
The speciality of this site is besides having some good collection, it has searchable text. That makes it a great resource site. @manojmishratwit

Another site, created by the community, is Wikimedia Commons. It has limited collection but has some popular titles. You can volunteer to add Odia books here.

Another site, started earlier by NIT Rourkela and Srujanika is oaob.nitrkl.ac.in. It has some good collection, sorted by author names and book titles. Not being updated these days, but the books are available
This site, odia.org/books/allBooks…, has a limited number of books, but some of them are really good. Worth a visit.
The popular Internet Archive, archive.org, too has some classic Odia books and reports, and a lot of English text on Odisha. But you have to search for them.
More for researchers than common readers. I'd recommend archive.org/stream/typical… for some old Odia text.
