Is there any way to get Calibre to run in the manner in which I'm attempting? Command line switches, etc., to use an environment variable to assign the current drive letter that Calibre is running from?

As I stated before, I have a large library of about 21GB with over 14,000 books in it that I need to do a lot of cleanup on. I have copied my library and Calibre Portable to the thumb drive, and want to run this as a self-contained stand-alone instance.

I need to do this so I can work on this library whenever I have a chance, on any machine I can access. Be it work desktop, work laptop, home desktop, home laptop, etc. But when I plug the thumb drive into a machine that doesn't assign the same drive letter to the thumb drive as when I set up the library, Calibre Portable won't work.

Am I maybe just missing something easy? I've been through the manual, and even looked at the calibre-portable.bat file in the \Calibre Portable\Calibre\resources folder for clues.

When I start Calibre, I'm using the \Calibre Portable\calibre-portable.exe

Thanks...
