No, portable means it takes its settings and books and plugins with it on the usb drive, It absolutely does *not* mean that it does not write to other disks in the system. By that logic, it should use the monitor and RAM on the usb disk as well, how dare it use the main computers peripherals.

Putting frequently accessed/created files that are all removed anyway when calibre quits on a USB disk is just wrong.
