Question 1.
That being said, I would like to make it my default ebook reader. ...
It depends on what is in control.

#1: If you mean the default used by calibre when you View a book from within the Library Manager then it is a simple matter of choosing which formats calibre sends to its internal viewer and which it sends to the OS for it to deal with. Check out calibre's Preferences > Behaviors panel to find the list where you can make your choices.

#2: If you mean the default used by your OS, either when you double click on an ebook file in that OS's file browser or when you have calibre send the file to the OS to deal with, you have to configure your OS to pair each format with the desired application. The exact way to do this will vary from OS to OS and is not really a calibre issue.
