At some point in updating Calibre I lost the ability to set Calibre as the default app to open epub format books.

When I attempt to open an epub the only program shown is Adobe. When I browse and select Calibre and click ok nothing happens. So, the only way to get these books into calibre is to drag and drop.

Any ideas on how to fix this?
Control Panel: Default Programs: Associate a Filetype: EPUB (if it is not already on the 'other Programs list) Use Browse button to the Add a program : navigate to Program files Calibre2 and choose ebook-viewer.exe

That will add it to the list.

Note, this is to VIEW a book. IMHO you should use a different (better) method to deliberately Add books to the Library.
a) set up an auto-add folder
b) drag and drop (onto the Calibre Icon or Calibre if open)
c) Use the Calabre Add menu item
