I've had a recent fascination with so called Portable Applications which can be run from a USB stick without "installation" on the host computer. Particularly I'm in love with the idea of the reader not modifying the registry or including any dlls or anything.

Clearly this cannot be done with mobireader, which integrates the DRM into the reader and the reader into the hardware (via the PID).

It seems that it is possible with earlier versions of the ereader, however. It seems as though v2.6.1.0 can be run from a stick with no "installation" required. Can anyone confirm if this is true?

If not, are there any other windows ebook applications that CAN be run in "stealth mode" that I should consider?

Thanks for any help.
