I have no idea if it will work that way on a Mac. In fact I can't guarantee that one of the several Windows enhancement gadgets I run isn't enabling this.

When I looked at the preferences for calibre's ebook-viewer in a Mac OS X High Sierra VM, the checkmark by "Allow only a single book to be viewed at a time" was not checked. I selected and opened 3 books and that worked as expected. When I closed a book, the next book did not pop into view but I could see it on the desktop and click to switch.
