I cannot comment on the cloud as I do not use it for Calibre, but regarding getting a blank screen with a local drive db the only occasion I have experienced that is if I have had Calibre running as well as Calibre Viewer in which case the library Calibre has open will not view in Calibre Viewer as the db is locked. This has had me perplexed a couple of times until I remember that I had not closed Calibre after a session with it  . Your problem may be different, of course. |
When a document has multiple formats available, each one will show up separately. Calibre Viewer has no bullt-in preference. This is on purpose. It does mean that if you happen to have sixteen formats of the same document, each one will list separately.
For cloud storage, I have to admit that I had not looked at that. For me, this was about making these my libraries browseable while offline. I will test that out and see how it goes. I will say that it uses the standard file-picker, which is built by Microsoft, and which has its limitations. I doubt it knows how to handle ODPS. Again, I will look at cloud storage and see what I can do about that.
