HotCakeX I disagree. 80 people want that capability. We want to use the actual reading mode, with the dictionary, the possibility to hear pronunciations, to use the immersive reader features, and Calibre does not offer that.

Be honest, how many posts here have 80 likes?

is your argument only the number of likes?
because that doesn't mean anything these days..
have a look at this Wikipedia page:

like I said, anyone can create fake accounts and like a post as many times as they want. it's Internet, you don't sign up with your social security number or a copy of your birth certificate.
you name 5 features that Edge classic has that is better for E-book reading, I can name 100 features that Calibre has which is good for E-book reading. because it is built for that matter.
E-book reader = E-book reader
Browser = Browser
E-book reader !=browser

The only one reason to use Edge is the built-in epub reader.
