Does epub compress well?
You should look at Precomp - an apparently abandoned, but awesomely working arhiver that is dedicated to compressing those ZIP-based formats, and compresses them twice-thrice as small as LZMA2 can.

Putting 5,998,794 books on IPFS
You can also have a look at this packer. It compresses PDF and EPUB 2-3 times smaller than 7z at maximum settings, at half the speed. I keep all my books in it and never had a problem.
- .bin compression

libgen currently adds around 1,300 books a day
There is an opensource archiver called precomp that is designed specifically for e-documents and compresses them 2-3 times smaller than 7z in ultra mode. It works, and I keep my e-books in it. However, it seems nobody else does, and development has stopped due to lack of interest.

AWS switch from gzip to zstd – about 30% reduction in compressed S3 storage
There are tools like preflate [1] or precomp [2] that guarantees a bitwise identical reconstruction, of course modulo bugs.

Which compression method for archiving OS ISOs?
You may use "precomp" in order to seek and uncompress those parts. Then you can use a better compression algorithm : http://schnaader.info/precomp.php

Is there any research as to what's the best way to compress each file type?
Precomp http://schnaader.info/precomp.php is a program which will seek compressed parts and decompress those parts in order to compress with another algorithm. This greatly improve compression ratio with the other algorithm.

When switching to Linux, what were some programs that you had to stop using because they weren't supported on Linux?
You could give notepadqq a try, it is very close in look in feel to notepad++. I don't know if extensions/plugins would be compatible, though.
