So if you open ebook-viewer.exe it will look for settings in your home directory
If you open the viewer by clicking the view button inside a calibre process that has been started via calibre-portable.exe it will look for settings inside the portable folder.

As a matter of interest if CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY was say, C:\Calibre Portable\Calibre Settings, then would opening C:\Calibre Portable\Calibre\ebook-viewer.exe use those settings
Away from home so I can't easily test.
