Interesting. Forget my shell script, a Mac alias (similar to symbolic link) does indeed work. (I did the shell script several years ago, which would have meant Calibre 0.x and Mac OS 10.5 or 10.6. At the time an alias did not work for me, and I don't use ebook-viewer much anyway so the shell script got very little use.)

However, drag-and-drop does not seem to work with the ebook-viewer alias, and it still won't take an "Open with" file association to automatically launch when double-clicking an ebook.
