The editor can be, and is, used as a standard alone program - i.e. no requirement for a calibre e-book library.

Correct - but that has nothing to do with the editors file comparison functionality.

If it was for the purpose of comparing the substantive content I would convert both to text. I'm unsure of the calibre editor can compare text files, but as a long term user of Beyond Compare I would probably use it.

I can't imagine me ever wanting to compare the markup of the same book in two different formats. What would it tell me that my eyeballs couldn't. Markup Mavens may disagree
