Good warning, thanks. Although I've been using my MacBook for a year, I've never used Apple Books. I've always right-clicked and selected 'open with Sigil', although noting that Books was the default. If I just want to read, I've always used Calibre.
I just tried setting Sigil as the default and then tried to open an epub. I got an Apple warning about danger (forget the exact words) with two buttons neither of which enabled me to open the epub with Sigil.
I reset Books as the default and used my 'normal' right-click procedure and it opened in Sigil ok.
I then closed Sigil and opened the same file with Books. Closed the file, and it re-opened ok with Sigil (right-click procedure). Reading the file with Books didn't seem to prevent subsequent use of Sigil, but Apple doesn't like me setting Sigil as the default app for epub files.
