I thought I deselected the internal viewer for the selected books, but when I clicked on any book from within Calibre, it still opened it in the internal viewer.

Yes, I do want to keep the books in both EPUB and Kindle formats, since I don't yet know when or if I will actually have an e-reader, and I would like to keep options open.

Thought I might get an e-reader for St. Patty's Day, but my husband just bounced our van off a curb to the tune of two Kindle DXs.
