Is the book displayed in the viewer?

I'm genuinely curious, once I setup the viewer there is no need to fidget with it beyond the TOC which you can show with ctrl-t and leave it up so it shows by default whenever you open a book.

Simply install the old version. On Windows I use the 64 bit version of calibre, but I could also install the old 32 bit version or place the portable version on my machine. Then I could use the old viewer via the "Open With" plugin or by telling the 64 bit version not to use internal viewer to view calibre files and have the OS default for ePub or your format of choice to the old viewer.

I'm still confused by worrying about the preference interface since it is not needed while you read a book. What preferences do you need shown? Maybe Kovid could make some dockable in the future.
