No you don't need Calibre portable. The settings directory can be copied very easily to any other computer you run Calibre. The portable version is only 32-bit. I've seen a number of times someone has a 32-bit Calibre run out of memory and they should have installed a 64-bit Calibre. Calibre is a very simple install and uninstall. The settings live in one directory that can be copied. No need for portable unless you want 4.23 and 5.x at the same time. And given that the DeDRM plugin is making great strides with Calibre 5.x, it won't be long before you won't need 4.23.
