Going back and forth between books means I need to search every time...reading more then two just becomes an exercise in frustration.
So...is there a different reading program that would let me open multiple books at a time? Or am I doing something wrong with calibre companion itself?

I don't know of any reader app that keeps multiple books open. They all make you go to their "last read" page, if they even have one.
There are three ways to solve this problem with CC.
- The easiest to use (in my opinion) is a CC desktop widget. These widgets show the last N books you have read. Tapping on a bookin the widget takes you to the reader app, which should open the book where you left off. There are 4 different widget types. See our FAQ What do the home screen widgets and shortcuts do? for more information.
- Create "Home screen shortcuts". These are icons on your desktop that open a book. Once put on your desktop they stay there until you delete them.
- Open CC and sort the book list by date read. This works if you haven't unchecked the CC option "Update Date Read when read" in Settings / Marking Books Read.
