If you prefer to read EPUB's with a program other than the calibre ebook-viewer program then associate the EPUB file type with your program of choice in your OS, and uncheck EPUB in the Preferences->Behaviour->Use internal viewer for: list.

There's an optional calibre PI called Open With that provides the wherewithal to open file types in alternate programs (including jpeg for the editing of covers), its similar in function to the Windows Open With, with the added feature that they can be given keyboard shortcuts, I have Sigil in there shortcutted to Shift/S «filched from theducks »
