I understand that others are telling you how to set up a permanent file association, but if you really just want to open various ebooks on demand, try Open Ebook. It just opens and displays the ebook.

Make sure to click on the blue icon which will open a standard Open File dialog; you'll have to navigate to the file location manually. I don't recommend navigating through calibre's file structure this way.

If you click on the small arrow to the icon's right, you will display a list of previously opened ebooks.
That only works for books IN the Library. Not what the OP wants.
