It's also possible to use the latest Calibre (7.17), but the viewer of an earlier Calibre version. Just install the portable version of that earlier Calibre and the regular version of the latest Calibre, associate your epubs with the viewer of the earlier portable (right-click on the file, Open with..., Choose another app ->More apps, navigate to the viewer in the portable folder and select it). Then uncheck epub in the Preferences -> Behavior of the current regular Calibre. Now whenever you open your epub in Calibre, it will open in the older viewer.

This way you can use the latest Calibre for conversion and library management, but the viewer of the earlier version for reading your ebooks.
