Well, obviously the portable version does not meet the criteria of being installed, thus people can be expected to ask/think critically about the matter.

Whereas any install will be added to the %PATH% regardless of install folder, so skipping the path can only be a net gain over specifying the default.

School system here, so calibre is "installed" via a scripted msiexec hack into %USERPROFILE%\PFiles\ and added to user %PATH%. That works too...
