Thank you for your feedback. Looks like I was missing some context in my guide.

I wanted to read about thirty 200-page novels in Google Docs written by various fan-translators. I don't have any control over the source format.

Fix the styles, links, chapters/headings, footnotes etc in LO Writer (or a local MS-Word if you must), because Styling in Google Docs is "broken". Only edit as odt. Have the Navigation/outline windows and and Style browser windows open in either.

Thanks for telling me about LO Writer, I'll look into it. But it looks like just the LibreOffice version of Word. It sounds more manual and tedious than loading up Calibre, importing 30 epubs, and running a bulk convert that essentially removes the broken styling.
