@noiob Original Edge is a great little document reader/annotations tool and they better make the Chromium Edge at least as good

@casta I'm guessing the PDF viewer is entirely webtech-based so it'll work the same in New Edge

@noiob @casta now I'm bummed they're taking epub reading out of it. Was just a good quick lil document reader all around with that :(

@casta @noiob Yeah I use it to check formatting on stuff before I load it up to my ereader and just the other day when I was doing that it gave me a message that they were doing away with it soon. To get a reader on the MS Store 😤😤😤

@nursemchurt @casta Calibre does a lot more than just view eBooks but it's really good and FOSs

@noiob @casta Oh yes I love Calibre but I'm working off a junky lil PC these days and Edge was just fast enough for opening an epub to check for typesetting shenanigans

@nursemchurt @casta you can just launch the viewer, it seems a bit more lightweight than Edge, actually
