I download the calibre software to my flash drive. I choose a place on my flash drive for the portable folder. I launch the folder on a computer. Then I add my books to it, then enjoy my books. I exit my program. The next time I want to use my library I take my flash driver and run the installer.

Is this right?

NO.

The installer just MAKES the flash drive into a ready-to-use self contained Library. The only time you use the Calibre Portable installer again is to update (it will see the previous one IN THE LOCATION , and only update the app part)

To use, just run the portable installer and select the location where you would like the Calibre Portable folder.
To launch calibre, double click the "calibre-portable.exe" program inside the Calibre Portable folder.
