2) make the buttons and fonts of calibre large enough to be easily useable through touch
3) after launching the calibre viewer, go full-screen
A big advantage to me is that there no need any longer to import epubs and mobis from calibre to your reading app or to point your reading app to the calibre library directory and to have to navigate that structure.
It is not clear to me if any of the dedicated touch screen reading apps is really a lot better than the calibre viewer ?

That depends on what you want from a viewer. I like to highlight and the Calibre Viewer doesn't support that. And I like to read under different circumstances. Some with some light, and some without light. For the first, I prefer a light background with dark letters, for the second, a dark background with dark letters (not black vs white, but rather black vs gray). Couldn't find that in the Calibre Viewer either...
But, it is a very good reader in itself, I agree. If you don't want any extra things, like highlighting and multiple colour schemes, it's very good reader.
