I am trying to connect wireless device sync books from my laptop. I have been using cc and calibre for years but due to space issues on my laptop, I've changed to Calibre portable on a USB drive. But now I can't connect to the device. Is it because the USB drive is plugged in?

I mostly use cc for fanfiction and it is updating daily and I need to sync books. I am not totally tech savvy and don't understand a lot of the more technical points made in the FAQ. I did try the port and IP connection thing and no luck.

How to make it work? Should I try content server instead? And if so, will it sync and update the changes to the epubs? Thanks
