Much of that is not the keyboard but the OS So running Linux on an Apple keyboard will not have the last two issues. As for # in macOSdon't use a UK layout use Irish or Australian which are the same except for shift-3

Then you need to provide more details. I have used many versions of macOS with Kindles including 12.4 and attaching a Kindle has always shown it as an external drive (called Kindle) What do you mean by the device itself - how does a device

I hate the tabs in the title bar. The bar is for the title. How do you drag the window on the screen now in standard OS you grab the title bat with the mouse and drag. But then again I must have vertical tabs so ideally just kill the tab ba

Definitely less freedom. On html I the reader can change the size of text or even the font and the text will reflow so you don't need scroll horizontally to read each line. How do you do that to a pdf?
