Question 1.
That being said, I would like to make it my default ebook reader. I tried to do that but Calibre opens selected ebooks only in the html editor. ??? I know that I can goto the Add Books dialog to add a book, but I would like to be able to select an ebook within windows explorer and use the Calibre ebook reader to open it. Or perhaps a popup dialog to add it to Calibre's library? Right now, Adobe opens the file, lets me read, and only asks if I want to add it to its library when I exit. I would prefer Calibre.
Question 2.
I write science fiction novels and have a publisher. However, I send pre-release books out to my reader group for editing, and pre-release copies out for reviews. I would like to embed a special number into the file to identify it should someone break my confidence and leak a copy. How to do that? In the html editor?
Thank you all for your advice.

1) When Calibre installed on Windows it created additional Menu items for the Viewer, Editor and Server. I think they were also available as choices on the OS 'Open With" menu (where you can choose to make this the TYPE default
2) You can place any HTML VALID code via the editor.
'Comments' are Valid
playing with 'visibility' (white on white, hidden, very small font) is iffy as not all devices play to YOUR wishes
make a 'finger print' (subtle inline code color shade that is not visibly different, a homophone word which still passes spell check) in different places depending on who gets the copy
