Hi All,

I just came across the "new" Portable version in the Downloads Section.

I have been using Calibre Portable on an external drive via the supplied Batch File.

Is this .exe version better? Or do I stick with the .bat file?

It seems the folder structure in the .exe version is different from the .bat
- "Calibre" as opposed to "Calibre2"
- "Calibre Settings" as opposed to "CalibreConfig"
- "Calibre Library" as opposed to "CalibreLibrary"

Can I just copy all files from my old folder structure or do I have to start with a new, blank database and import from the old one?

Thank you in advance for any answers.
