@dolma33 - the CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY Environment variable can be used to relocate the configuration data.

I use it without any major problems on Windows, and in past on Linux, but never on OSX. The only glitch I've struck is if the two computers have different monitor size/resolution, the window geometry values that calibre saves could be cockeyed when you switch to using the other computer.

If the two computers use disparate operating/file systems there are other, and arguably more important, issues you'll need to consider, such as: path lengths, case sensitivity, support for non ASCII file names etc.
