[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1079058@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Calibre provides "ebook-viewer", a very useful tool which could be used
as an standalone ".epub" viewer. As far as I know, currently the only
ways to launch ebook-viewer are, either from Calibre (when you open an
"epub" in that program), or directly from the command line.

Given that Evince, Ubuntu's default document viewer, currently does not
support the ".epub" format (AFAIK), it would be nice if, after
installing Calibre, "ebook-viewer" had an independent menu entry, to be
launched as an standalone application.

The "epub" related mime types (and possibly other mime types supported
by "ebook-reader" but not by "evince") could also be automatically
associated to "ebook-viewer", if no previous association was found so,
for instance, double clicking on an ".epub" file in Nautilus should open
automatically "ebook-viewer" with the chosen file.
