Eric, you didn't specify your OS.

To clarify other replies:

If you are on Mac, you can't open your data file by clicking on it. But 
you can create a simple Automator Workflow or AppleScript (or other 
script) to create a shortcut for each book. (or use the Terminal) That 
would be useful if you need two or more books open at the same time.

If you just need to switch between them one-at-a-time, then use the 
quicklist at the bottom of the File menu as already mentioned.

Regards,
Adrien
