Microsoft just volunteered one of my computers for the Creators Update, so =
I thought I would check out the built-in [EPUB] reader in their Edge Browse=
r.
OK, nothing great, I would say.
I "bought" for free one of "their" classics. It downloaded and read OK.
I "for free" downloaded "the same" classic from PG in EPUB format, open it =
in Edge, pretty much the same reading experience.
CTRL-SHIFT-R turns the EPUB-specific reading features on and off, if anyone=
wants to play around with this.
No apparent end-user control of margins, interline spacing, as examples a c=
ouple of beefs. One-page vs. Two-page-spread reading depends on how wide vs=
. tall you make your browser window, for another beef.
Etc.
