Hmmm...interesting idea.

Maybe instead of linking to the home page, you could have an option in settings that points to the install locations on the local machine of several different viewers. When enabled, a menu item will allow opening the current ePub in that program to view how it is displayed.

Settings:
- enter file location for ADE: ____________ (User Filled in with: "c:\program files\ADE\ADE.exe")
- enter file location for KindlePreviewer: ____________
- enter file location for SonyReader: ____________
- enter file location for Nook: ____________
- enter file location for ePubReader: ____________

Menu:
View current ePub in: =>
- ADE
- KindlePreviewer
- SonyReader
- Nook
- ePubReader

That would allow easy comparison of the different rendering styles. You could add a section in the help file that shows the links to each program's website.
