I sometimes want to view loose epubs lying around my hard drives, and I really like Calibre's ebook-viewer.exe.

However, I haven't been able to find any way to feed the program epub files other than adding them to the Calibre library and using the view function. Dragging and dropping doesn't work, and macros don't seem to work either. Is there any way to do so? Even better - a way to assign the epub extension to be read by it?
