Ooh, thank you! I'd wanted to include Calibre, and that makes it possible (I knew it was able to be made portable, but without instructions I'd be pretty lost). I might even be able to manage the whole library in Calibre. (Not sure how it deals with multiple PDF files of the same title, or how to import & combine multiple versions of the same file instead of converting them. Not sure how to set it up separately from my personal Calibre, but that's probably simpler.)

I'd still like to find portable reader programs for all the common filetypes; I'd like the kids to get used to the idea that "ebook" is a package, and what they use to open it makes a difference.
