Ok. If you say so I won't do this. So I think I will permanently use Linux for Calibre from now on.
I tested this method by using a duplicate copy of my calibre portable library by using a seperate USB Drive and opened that library folder from Linux installed Calibre and everything seemed to work fine. I used a duplicate copy of my calibre portable library because I was not sure it will work fine and to avoid any data loss if things go wrong between both Windows and Linux running Calibre programs. After testing out on both OS, all the changes made by Calibre on Linux were also shown in Calibre Portable for Windows. That's why I thought it will work fine forever.
But if the creator of the program says its not a good idea. Then I don't think there is anything to say against it.
Thank You everyone for all the help.
