Thanks all!
Didn't realize the Mac version of ebook-viewer was bundled inside the Calibre package. Because it's not a separate application, using the standard Mac method of file-associating (Get Info > Open With) only shows Calibre, not ebook-viewer inside Calibre. There might be a way to dig inside (with Terminal maybe?), but I don't know it. If anyone does, I'd be interested in learning.
But that's okay. Knowing how to find ebook-viewer allowed me to add it to my Dock.
For those interested in how this is done (in Mac OS 10.6):
1. Launch Calibre, go to Prefs > Advanced > Misc and install command line tools.
2. Go to Applications folder, find Calibre, then control-click on the Calibre icon and select "Show Package Contents."
3. Find ebook-viewer (Contents > MacOS > ebook-viewer)
4. Drag ebook-viewer icon to Dock (or make alias and put it on your desktop or whereever else you want it). Clicking on the ebook-viewer icon will open ebook-viewer all by itself, without Calibre.
Another option: after installing command line tools ...
a. Open Terminal (in your Applications > Utilities folder)
b. In the Terminal window, type "ebook-viewer"
c. ebook-viewer will open and an icon will appear in your Dock. Click and hold ebook-viewer icon until you get Options window, then click "Keep in Dock."
Calibre rocks!
