Out of curiosity, why aren't you using 64bit Calibre? Why restrict yourself to Calibre Portable?
Because 32-bit Windows can't run 64-bit programs and I need 32-bit for some legacy devices.

I prefer portable apps for, well, portability. Also for ease of backup and restore. If one doesn't need multi-platform support, it's much faster and easier to just copy the Calibre Portable folder than use the import/export function in Calibre when switching computers.

Mind, one can actually convert Calibre Portable to 64-bit. Just install 64-bit on a PC then replace the app folder on Calibre Portable with the 64-bit install folder. Obviously, then Calibre Portable wouldn't work on 32-bit Windows.
