I generally prefer not to read in the browser. If I must read on my desktop, instead of a mobile device, the choice under Windows is SumatraPDF. Aside from PDFs, it also handles ePub and Mobi.
Which "bloat ridden alternatives" did you have in mind?

If i uninstall it, it will undoubtedly nag me to install the new one, and one day something in Windows itself wont work.
I didn't use Edge as a web browser, only as a epub viewer, mainly when proof-reading/copy-editing. It had a shim (Edge Launcher or something) that provided the wherewithal to integrate into 3rd party software.
"bloat ridden alternatives" - all the epub readers that want to be a librarian too, all those that try to emulate a paper book, all those that have popups that hide the text, all those that take 'too long' to open an epub. Haven't looked at Sumatra for a while, last time I looked it wasn't as fast as its fans claimed it would be - sure it was faster than Acrobat, but so is a wet week. And it wanted to be the default for everything under the sun -- I'm not fond of Swiss army knives either.
I'm using Windows Quicklook a bit, its lightning fast but the ePub plugin in particular has a rather clunky UI. Good for what its name says - a quick look, for epub proof-reading/copy-editing I am using Sigil's PageEdit.
