We are not talking about the calibre version that is part of PortableApps.com. For this thread Calibre = Calibre portable for options and variables. Calibre portable is put out by Kovid and is downloaded from the same
download page as the other versions.

set CALIBRE_TEMP_DIR=%CD%\Temp

Good information. Kovid pointed this info out in post 3 and the OP acknowledge knowing about it in post 4.

Unless you've got a really, really cheap SSD, I wouldn't worry about NAND life.

Agreed.
