But when I went to compare the appearance of the new ePUB version versus the old PDF version I found that clicking on "View" in Calibre mistakenly "Added" the book.

I have since;
Uninstalled PDF Converter.
Uninstalled Calibre.
Re-installed Calibre.
Again uninstalled Calibre.
Again re-installed Calibre.

I am still unable to "View" any of my PDF books in Calibre.
"Viewing" PDF files results in "Adding" duplicate copies.
ePUB and MOBI files view correctly.
I have quite a lot of technical books in PDF format.

Can anyone suggest what I should do to view PDF books in Calibre ?

Any help for a senile old codger of 82 would be very gratefully received !
