I stand corrected - should have checked. I assumed it would read the file and then decide whether it could do anything with it - like most other programs do.

@RobertJSawyer - sorry for the bum steer. If you set up a file association to the Azardi ebook viewer for .EPU it will work, Readium can also open a .EPU - assuming its a valid ePub of course.

But ADE and the calibre will only open .EPUB's
