The only mistake here is responding to these messages using this small font. I don't know if it is an automatic function of your browser or you go out of your way to change the default font. You are the only one here that I see using a small font. Nevermind, I guess your just selecting a different font via the forum tool. You're welcome to do this but since it ends up with a reduced size font I won't be responding in the future.

Calibre is a ebook management tool not a content/document management system, there is a difference. If I want my epub edited, I edit my epub. It is extremely rare that the various formats I have for a specific book come from the same source file.

Again you're thinking of calibre as a content/document management tool, since calibre is not in the content management business there is no bug or requirement for documentation explaining why it doesn't do content management.
