Is there a way of migrating to an external drive from the laptop?

What format should the drive be? (I want to use it Mac and PC)
Format NTFS (Windows likes this), Install Calibre Portable
For the MAC, Install Calibre normally, then switch to use the Library folder on the USB drive.

A MAC person might help you so the drive always will mount the same way, thus you will be able to create a Quick Switch.

Windows users can use the device manager to 'reserve a single letter: (pick 'L' or some way up there that would never be used normally). That way, the detachable drive will always land the same
