I've been using Calibre for a while now, and I'm quite happy with the majority of its features. However, there's something I can't find a way to do, even if it's quite simple: open an HTML book in my browser, from Calibre.

So, here's the story: I have some technical books that are published in both HTML and PDF formats, but I'd rather stick with the HTML one, because I'd rather read them in the browser (let's say its just more convenient for me). However, Calibre converts HTML files to ZIP when importing them, so my browser won't open them.

I saw some related threads in which it was said "use Calibre reader", but it's really not what I want to do, or "it's not the work of Calibre", but I don't agree with that: I need my software to gather all my books and let me open them in the format I want, as long as the format is available. What's the point of storing my books in Calibre if I can't read them from there?

So, what would you suggest?
There is a preference for when to (not) use the internal viewer

You could also use the Open With plugin to configure alternate viewers for specific formats (Adobe is a default in the config)
