Cool Viewer displays nothing when loading any book from my database

  • What format is the book?
  • Where did it come from?
  • And why did you post in the Conversion forum?

Thanks for creating the new thread and moving this content into it! Thanks also for the image that shows how to get to the config file easily!!

I really can't imagine why I asked my question where I did?! Tiredness I guess or maybe brain-freeze

Ok, let's start by loading a new book into calibre:

Buy Storm Cursed by Patricia Briggs from Amazon and add it to the calibre database. When I attempt to view it in calibre the ebook-viewer icon appears on my windows 10 taskbar but no window is shown. hovering over the icon produces a small window above the icon that is totally white with an X in the upper right corner that removes the ghost window when clicked, but when I click in the white background it does not open a window. So when I convert the azw3 file to an ePub and try and view it I get the same results as with the azw3 file. So then I try it in Cool Reader and it loads and is viewable and it pages normally.
