`xdg-open book.pdf` does indeed open my PDF viewer, while opening the same file from within calibre still has the issues I described.

@kovidgoyal: As NixOS plays some dirty tricks with enironment variables or paths I don't expect you to devote time for fixing this. But can you please point me to some code and to the Qt methods you call there? This'd really help me investigating this.

PS: as today is the "I love Free Software" day, I want to thank you for that useful piece of software you're working on (=
