I've discovered that LuciDor (I only found it today) lets me nominate where its to save/look for books - so for now, its goodbye EPUB Reader hello LuciDor. It also enfolds Firefox's built-in PDF Reader into itself - which is nice, I think 
Good luck with Readium (I think I know why its has appeal for you) - but if it doesn't work out, then one of the others in the list will hopefully do the job. And good luck with the book.
If you wanted to 'integrate' Readium into Calibre, then you should be able to do that via the Open With ( ← click) plug-in.

Thanks BetterRed. Being useful is the best think I've learned in my various businesses.
It is true about Readium. It buries the book. But, when you're a reader that has just bought a well advertised .epub3 book and you need a FAST and EFFICIENT solution to read it in your PC or Mac, you will not care about that. What do you think?
I tried LuciDor more than once. But I just can't see a future on my readers (or any kind of readers) who seek solid .epub3 features. Readium was the only piece of software, from that list, that answered these very important questions (also from the reader's perspective) 1) Is it simple/fast? YES. 2) Is it efficient? YES.
I think Calibre is great, but I will not refer it any more to my readers, because it is too much hustle for something that another software does much better, for my readers.
My book's (

I wish I could share them with you guys. I'm very happy to see 12 months of persistent work and target marketing payoff.
Thanks to those who helped.
