calibre [options] [path_to_ebook or calibre url ...]
Launch the main
calibre Graphical User Interface and optionally add the
e-book at path_to_ebook to the database. You can also specify
calibre
URLs to perform various different actions, than just adding books. For
example:
calibre://view-book/test_library/1842/epub
Will open the book with id 1842 in the EPUB format from the library
"test_library" in the
calibre E-book viewer. Library names
are the folder names of the libraries with spaces replaced by underscores. A
full description of the various URL based actions is in the User Manual.
