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.
If I understand correctly that you want windows to open the ebook with the calibre ebook reader thats not in your library, one of the easiest ways to do so is to choose an ebook is to pick a book, highlight it, then right click on it. You should get a pop up window that has an 'open with' option, then inside that, 'choose default program...'. From there, you can choose the ebook reader program as mbovenka pointed out from the calibre program directory. That's how I did it.
