Desktop shortcut to ebook?
This seems like a FAQ but so far I've not found it, if so.
I'm on Windows 11 and would like to create desktop / menu shortcuts to books I've added to Calibre -- To load them into the document viewer without launching the full GUI. Is the only option to manually create a shortcut calling ebook-viewer.exe with the explicit path to the book file inside my Calibre library? I'm hoping there's something a bit more integrated... Thanks. |

Be aware: if you click on shortcut with a calibre://view-book link then:

I'd export, "Save to disk" and then a regular shortcut. It's best to pretend the books in the library can only be accessed via Calibre.

I guess what I could do is just use ebook-viewer.exe exclusively and keep a folder of shortcuts for books as needed. I don't have that many and I don't need any cross-document searching capabilities, etc. Thanks. |
