Hello,

I am a e-book creator, but only in the last couple days have I found myself using Calibre.
(I wanted MOBI files to load into the Kindle app on a Fire device, rather than as documents. I needed Calibre to remove that "PDOC" thing from the file.)

After downloading, I found it may have functionality that I had been looking for in another respect. I'll try to explain what I hope to do the best I can. If there are any questions, let me know so I can clarify...

I create my books with Sigil. I convert them to MOBI with Amazon's command line KindleGen program. I sell the e-books through Amazon exclusively, but I'd like to be able to load them on USB flash drives and sell them that way, especially some of my larger projects.

Here's my trouble:
I assume a certain lack of tech savvy from people. Rather than expect everyone to know what files work on which device and where the files need to go in the directory structure, I'd like to have a tool/program which will handle it for them.

Also, I'd like to prevent the people that are tech savvy from sharing too much.

Upon installing the portable version of Calibre, I get the feeling it can handle that first function, i.e. the automatic installing of e-books.
Am I right about this?

I do not know, however, if Calibre can help with my second issue, i.e. preventing excessive sharing. Any thoughts?

Third, if both of these are possible, can the remaining Calibre functionality be removed or disabled? I saw editing and converting functions which would not be necessary.

Thanks for your help.
