Hi All -

I've been running an extensive collection with Calibre on my desktop for a couple of years. I now need a portable version for travel.

I've downloaded Calibre Portable to a thumb drive, and I'm not sure of next steps.

Do I use the tool bar on the Portable Version on the flash drive to access the library? Or the tool bar from the Desktop Calibre?

Do I go to "Calibre" , "Switch / Create Library" "Use the previous existing library at the new location" ?

Thanks - I've put in a lot of time organizing the metadata, and (1) don't want to lose it on my hard drive and (2) would like in to appear in Portable with the same organization.
