Oh, I see now. That could do it, but... I would have to remember always setting the environment variable before skimming. I'm sure I would forget half the time... lol

That would not be a problem. I could clean this from time to time.

One problem though: it didn't work like expected. I even installed 4.1 portable just to be sure. Looks like calibre main cache is still used if you open a book directly. The portable cache is used only if you open the book from the main GUI...

Well... this indicates that the main GUI and the Viewer DO save this setting on different variables/config files. So, maybe this could be changed for the default viewer, after all.
