Peter Swallow · 05-15-2011, 02:52 AM

I am using the OSX verxion of Calibre, and I visited my brother who is using the windows version.
He was able to click on an epub file and it automatically opened in calibre's e-book viewwr instead of calibre itself.
I would like to do this on my imac. Can any one give me instructions?

I have installed the commandline options in calibre, but I dont know what to do next to view them. I prefer to add books to calibre manually, so it is not a problem if that is not an option, once I have associated the ebook files with the viewer rather than the calibre main prog.

Any help gratefully, received.

Peter Swallow.
