Inking on Web Pages - Discussion

For once, you should just add ALL the Classic Edge features. Then, you may ask if we customers want OTHER features. It's unacceptable than a year later there are still so many features that Classic E.dge had and you're not even considering adding them to the new version.

- They're considering the inking capabilities now, but there are other features which are not going to be added. Like the capability of opening epubs, that with the grammar tools, Cortana, the integrated dictionary and the reading-aloud feature, made Classic Edge the best epub reader on windows.
If you remove this feature from classic Edge (why not just leaving it there?) you may consider adding it to the new Edge. I'm not a software engineer, I'm a humble mechanical engineer, but I don't think opening epubs must be soooo difficult to implement.
There is a discussion with many many likes, it's not just me who wants it. And it's not even under review, they ignored this request.- Grammar tools is already added,
enable this flag: edge://flags
Grammar Tools in Reading View
Enable Grammar Tools feature in Reading View – Mac, Windows

They already said that way before that they are dropping support for Epub. there are lots of Epub readers in the Windows store. they probably want to keep Edge browser just a browser and not a bloated bundle of programs.
Read aloud is also available, not for PDFs yet though.
Cortan is on the list "under review" but I think they are holding on that because they are first waiting for the Windows team to complete their Cortana 2 beta (currently available to Windows insider fast and slow ring) and then Edge team can evaluate which commands should/can be integrated into the browser.
