I would like to make Calibre Portable USB Windows drives including a library of books for my friends.

I run Linux Mint. Is there any way to do this on Mint without Wine (which I have never used)? I am okay with the command line so any instructions at this point would be great.

(NB: I am referring to Fanfiction downloaded thought the FanFicFare plugin, so there are no copyright issues with the "books" since they fall under a version of fair use. It's a greyish area legally, but from what I remember from my days as an entertainment law paralegal, it's legal in the strictest sense.)
