If the ebook is in epub format, I often edit with Sigil. Unfortunately, Sigil is no longer being developed, so its shortcomings are not being addressed. But it is a wonderful editing tool otherwise. However, I wonder if it would be possible to invoke Sigil for editing when an epub is to be edited while inside Calibre?
Or, could the current editor could be changed to permit editing in the 'preview' side?
Clicking in the preview pane will synch the Code to the current paragraph.
I think Kovid stated WYSIWYG edits is not going to happen (just too many pitfalls. )
