Oy. The only thing I understood was "ebook viewer has a shortcut."

I'm on a Mac OS X 10.6 using Calibre 7.52. I saw in the Calibre User Manual that I can launch the ebook viewer by installing the command line tools (which, surprisingly, I think I know how to do). But are there any other options? I'd love to be able to double-click an ebook-viewer icon or put the ebook viewer icon on my Dock. But when I try the latter, I just get the whole Calibre program.

Can I do this binary-file-association-property thing you speak of above on a Mac -- and if so, how? Or is that just for Windows?

Sorry for being computer-inept, and thanks for any help!
