FTR the library filename is: _Hello_. World! - Anat Admati.epub

I must admit to being confused: I've always thought file naming rules were less restrictive on MacOS than on Windows because of its Unix heritage. Windows inherited its conventions from DOS/CPM/RT-11.

But I also thought Apple's file system was known as HFS+ - is APFS just a new badge for HFS+, or something entirely different, like MS's ReFS.
