So...what's your argument against all the other devices (ADE/Nook/Sony) that render ePubs differently??

It is an unfortunate fact that different companies decide to render ePubs differently, so a function in Sigil - which is an ePub development program not a QT5 development program - that allows one to see how it displays in those different programs would be convenient.

It's not like Sigil would be incorporating the code of those other programs - it is just making a convenient way to open the file with those other (already installed) programs. BTW, this functionality is fairly common and already in sigil....ever right click on an image file and select "open with"?.... So this would just carry on the same concept, but allow opening the ePub in those other programs.

If the program you "open with" happens to automatically convert the file into another (very common and popular format) - who cares? It's not Sigil creating that kindle file.
