On a Mac, if you see a file in the file manager (called Finder) or open/save dialog, you can press the space bar and a preview will get displayed. This is intended to be fast and lightweight, and doesn't involve starting an app or showing the entire contents. The mechanism is pluggable so extra data types can be supported..

Or I presume in Icon view a preview of front cover in a file manager window of a directory? I remember years ago on XP changing the PDF viewer or adding an Explorer plugin and it was wonderful for directories of 100s of PDFs just with serial number filenames to display large icons and see the covers, as if they were jpg or png files.
Maybe JSWolf thinks "viewer" is meant. Calibre works well for that on Mac, Windows and LInux for actual ebooks, PDFs are better with something else.
