or you just want to be able to carry your library around and use it on any Windows computer
or...

... when you have a Win8 (nor RT) or Win7 tablet with rather small main storage "drive" (e.g. my Dell Venue 8 Pro / 32gig) and want to save space on "drive" C: and install to a transient expansion card (e.g. the 32gig that I keep in the DV8P's Micro-SD slot). This has the secondary advantage of allowing me to move the card to my desktop machine and do large scale library processing (big imports, multiple conversions, editing, ...) on the library and then return the card to my tablet for reading.
