That makes it easy to launch the viewer by double-clicking (or equivalent) on the ebook file.

What you cannot do is simply move the binary to another location as it is dependent on many of the other components shipped as part of a Calibre install.
Although this is true, the problem with doing it this way when you have Calibre Portable is that ebook-viewer.exe doesn't use your portable settings, such as for screen position, etc. I think what the OP is really asking for is a Portable wrapper for ebook-viewer.exe.
