I'm going slightly off topic, you can use the following to launch calibre from the portableapps.com menu.
There are two ways I use to launch non-portableapps.com programs from the portable app menu.
The first is to make sure the .exe of the program you want to run is at the same folder level as all of the other portable apps, an example would be dragging the Calibre Portable directory under the portableapps folder. When you launch portableapps the program (in the example calibre_portable) will be included in the menu under Other. Now it can be renamed and added as a favorite.
The second method is what I use. I keep all of my non-portableapps programs in a separate folder. I then add Pstart.exe to a pstart folder under the portableapps folder. Pstart will now show in the portableapps menu. I rename the menu item to
Third Party Apps.
Pstart is a free Menu program to launch portable apps from mobile media. I launch Pstart from my portableapps menu then use this menu to launch whatever other portable apps I have on the flash drive. See attached for images of the menus.
