The vast majority of users use Calibre because of its library management function. Calibre is very powerful and versatile tool.

Yes, you can use Calibre to just view a book without loading the book into the library. Just use Calibre Viewer program. You can associate *.epub files in a file manager (on Windows, Linux, MacOSX) to be opened by the viewer.

Next time you ask for help with Calibre, please try to do so without without attacking Calibre designers. Calibre designer provided you with an extremely powerful software free of charge and works very hard to make the software just the way we (the vast majority of users) want to have it. He listens to our suggestions and constantly improves the software.
