I think there’s simple a historical preference in my editor choices. NeoOffice has the idea toolbar layout for me. And it, and Microsoft Word, both support near 40 year old keyboard shortcuts.
ThT and over the year I’ve updated and maintained a series of macros that I bound to function keys for one click work.

No doubt. Luckily both of my choices appear to have only minimal issues. My Boox tablet loads them quite well.
Apple Books takes a few moments to load and index, on the iPhone, but otherwise does fine once it’s in memory.

Again, I’m not using PDF; I’m using ePub. With reflow-able text. I simply choose not to downgrade images.

Type in calibre ebook into any search and you get many lists of best converters.
I’m sure the features beyond conversion are useful to many. To others, not.

ECC,
Again the idea is using calibre to convert from one format to another. If I wanted to go through extensive work for each document I’d use the command line and a script icon for drag’n’drop. I’d then have to open the epub folder, load the html into an editor, make all the formatting changes manually, then recompress it and ‘crush’ it.
Calibre makes the process a few clicks 99% of the time. A powerful converter.

I didn’t say I wanted the removed storage disabled. I said it would be nice to have the option to disable it.
My issue isn’t space: it’s my lack of interest in keeping multiple copies of things when only one file in one location would suffice.
