You can view them in the calibre viewer, by highlighting them and hitting v

As speakingtohe stated you can open each in their own calibre viewer window and place the windows side by side.

Why not? I can open as many epubs in different viewers as I want.

Not at the SAME precise time.

Select the just first book: type 'V'
now select just the second book: type "V"

You can even select both books and press v.

multi-select supports 'View'?

Possibly your Viewer is set to open in "Full Screen" mode and that's causing some confusion.

Select a book and run Viewer. If it opens in Full Screen mode, hit ESC and click on Preferences (the icon with 3 small gears).

On the General tab click "Full Screen Options" and UN-click "Start viewer in full screen mode" if it is clicked.

Now open a book in Viewer and resize it to the left half of screen. Open another book and resize it to right side of screen. Voilà!
