When I right click on an ebook - usually epub or awz3 format - and I select "Open With E-book Viewer" nothing happens. Same if I double click an ebook or select any of the View options from within calibre.

I am currently using calibre v5.37.0 under ubuntu 22.04 LTS. I know that before "upgrading" ubuntu (and therefore, calibre as well) this always worked just fine. I did the "upgrade" months ago, but I only just now tried getting an ebook to open, so I don't know if the newer versions caused it or if something else may have.

I did install Amazon Kindle Reader through wine, but I have double checked that epub and awz3 files are still associated with calibre. Besides that, I wouldn't think that the association would affect opening an ebook through calibre itself.

Any help would be great. If you need any more info, I will be happy to provide it. Thanks.
