From what I can tell there really isn't an easy way to read faction and craft lore without going into the world editor. Perhaps a bestiary or compendium of sort that lists all the factions and vehicles, as well as different areas and resource zones, basically anything that can have a description.
As someone currently building for a CC, this would be nice as I put a decent amount of effort writing lore for everything, from factions to corporations to random resource zones.

Honestly, true. It would be cool if there was like a beastiary for enemy ships, just so you can see what you’ve destroyed in campaign.

The lore appears in designer when mousing over a design in the x (spawn) menu, and location lore is available by mousing over the location in the campaign. If it hasn't been removed, there should be a button in the campaign for reading faction lore. Additionally, all of it is available in the world editor.
I don't disagree that having all the lore in one place instead of split across multiple places would be nice, I'm also writing a CC that is lore-heavy. At the same time, while lore isn't obvious to access, it is also quite easy
*Small edit for emphasis / clarification: I agree with having an "easier" access to lore and / or having it all in one "book" of sorts. I just also wanted to point out that the lore is fully accessible without the world editor, as far as I remember

This would be awesome

I always loved reading craft lore, but its so hard to find all the lore sometimes. I agree this is good idea

The game used to have an entire screen with the lore information (half a million years ago). So why don’t the devs bring it back?
I think it’d be a great idea

Having it for player made craft too would be cool, and would make finding finished craft easier

True, although some bits, like corporations are unable to be seen at all w/o the world editor. Moreover, you can't list crafts in the designer by corporation nor is it shown anywhere in the spawn menu. While it's possible that these were just meant as an internal way of listing crafts, I feel that it should be able to be seen somewhere. As you said, it would be nice to be able to read all in one place.
Also just checked in the QfN campaign, but I can't find the button you mentioned.
