The latest being fictionbookreader (and isn't it great how the Windows Store can't find this app because I tried searching for just "fiction"?)

Anyway, I associated all epubs with fictionbookreader and it says "book imports done. Do you want to open new books?" and I say yes, and then .... nothing.

I know it is developers and not Microsoft that need to make the effort, but even the Nook app, the latest comments say it is buggy with Windows 10.

Is there anything decent in the way of a Windows Store app for epub? I am actually prepared to pay for a decent one.
I gave up on metro-style epub readers when searching for one last year on my tablet (8.1). I just installed Calibre and use the reader that comes with that. It's not perfect, but it's the most perfect one I could find.

OneNote is a free office application, you don't need any subscription. I find it odd that it was read-only for you... (I don't have any office products on my SP2, except OneNote for desktops)

About your question, where are your OneNote files stored? The metro app only reads them from OneDrive if I recall correctly.
