The calibre E-book viewer and Edit book tools do not work on Windows?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These two programs use hardware acceleration as they embed a version of the
Chrome browser to render HTML. If they do not work it will be because of
incompatibility with your system's GPU (graphics) drivers. Try updating these

``QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS`` environment variable to the value
