The easiest way to create direct access on macOS and Windows is to:
  1. Launch calibre
  2. View an ebook
  3. if mac: right-click on the Dock icon for the viewer and choose "Keep in Dock"
  4. if Win: right-click on the Taskbar icon for the viewer and choose "Pin to Taskbar".

You now have a "permanent" icon on the Taskbar/Dock for future use. You can also do the same for the Editor if you like.
Big thanks, dwig!

I have pinned the Calibre viewer to taskbar. Now I can preview an ebook before adding it to my Calibre library. Very helpful.
