I don’t want pagination for reference documents, for one thing – I want fast seamless scrolling.
Not sure if that’s still the case, but on macOS, it used to be hard to open more than one ePub file at a time using Calibre too – also an essential feature for research.
Finally, Calibre viewer edits each opened ePub by inserting a “last reading location” metadata file by default! It’s possible to deactivate in the settings, but I need to remember to do it for every new installation. It’s an absolute no-go as a default for a document viewer.
I wouldn't assume that any application doesn't edit documents, especially metadata. My PDF application remembers the last location and zoom level viewed, though I don't know how.
