Public bug reported:

Under Linux, ebook-viewer lacks a .desktop file.  This means it is not
picked up by Gnome as an application that can be associated with a file
type.

Creating a .desktop file and placing it in /usr/share/applications
allows me to associate .epub files with ebook-viewer so that I can
quickly open and read them on my desktop.  It would be great if this
could be added to the default install so that other people can easily
use this very useful application.

I will attach the .desktop file I have been using to do this locally.
