Size and simplicity trump. I'm aware drives are getting smaller, higher capacity, and cheaper. For the current use case, they are far more than required.

As a Bonus, you can install Calibre Portable and still use the Library with the Desktop version, thus giving the ability to use the Library at any Windows computer

I have Calibre Portable on another thumbdrive, for the use case where the machine I'm using doesn't have Calibre installed. (Both current Calibre Portable, and the last version that still runs under XP.)
But that would be for use on someone else's machine. Mine all have Calibre on them, under Windows and Linux.
I just basically need the stuff I am likely to sync to my tablet on the thumb drive that travels, which means ePub/Mobi, and it will be quite some time before a 1TB drive will be required to handle that. (An additional constraint is tablet capacity. The max MicroSD card size the current one takes is 32GB.)
