... would be a better description for option 1.

When I do that it loads the library. But only until I restart Calibre. Then it reverts back to the default location. I guess this is a portable version issue. Obviously the portable version does not store anything in the registry (since that's one of the points of being a portable version). Maybe the normal version stores the path there...

I'll probably install the normal version sometime soon.

Also thanks for the tip concerning moving the library

@Larry - FYI : I'm pretty sure the installed version of calibre doesn't use the registry either, apart from the entries the Windows Installer puts there in order to do an un-install. Everything is in the configuration folder, including the library paths, although I'm not sure where they are.
