Confusion solved:
We are talking about the same installer. I checked the home page, and it turns out there was an update. I was running calibrePortable_0.9.16_Dev_Test_1.paf.exe, released in January of this year, and in August it was updated to calibrePortable_Launcher_Dev_Test_1.paf.exe which included the ability to update from Kovid's installer.
You can still update using the original method, which is to install to %DRIVE%:\PortableApps\calibrePortable\Calibre Portable\ using Kovid's installer, and the PAF launcher would update from there, and delete the install folder. This used to be the only method.
Thank you for alerting me to the new version, as otherwise I probably never would've found it, and I love new stuff!
I update weekly cuz I like to, and never saw a prompt from PA Updater that the launcher itself was updated. And rightly so, because I updated myself!
You should probably suggest on the home page that it delete the installer.exe -- maybe this could be fixed.
