I like to download a rare book now and then, but if practical I’d like to be safer about it.

    probably better to use it on a burner device(cheap device) if you that paranoid, and on a public wifi like library or cafes.

      That’s a bit over the top for grabbing some text books. That’s like, opsec for running an IPTV service or something… but it is possible, and easy. Whip up a vm with a linux distro, connect to an open wifi (vpn if you have one, if not who really cares), and download away. Blow away the VM when done.
