External EPUB viewer
As good as the EPUB viewer is, I would like to use an external EPUB viewer for the EPUB files in my calibre database. While I can always just go find the folder, or save it to a desired location. It would be nice if I could configure calibre to use the system default EPUB viewer rather than the internal one.

Adobe Digital Editions displays epubs. So does, up to a certain degree, FBReader.

Thanks. I glossed over it for some reason. I like the EPUB viewer you've built, but I get strange behavior from it sometimes. For example, whenever I change the preferences it jumps back several chapters in the book I'm reading, almost always to the same spot.
