In continued exchanges and chat about the irony that Portable Calibre worked there was frequent mention of there being something wrong with the configuration.

I did not use the existing config file (in Roaming) when I set up Portable. I just added each library to it yet someone had said that I could have set up the Portable using that folder.

Wondering, if I had done that, if the problem would have been imported. I renamed the existing folder xcalibre (hope there are some of you thinking of excalibur, as that is what I suddenly thought of) and opened my original Calibre and TA! DA! It works perfectly!

So many red herrings in the water! Of course, this does not fix the problem with Adobe and Kindle.

But wait. I just noticed that the Calibre folder I renamed was in my User folder and not in the AppData\Roaming folder. I'm so confused. And the Calibre Portable folder is there, too. Did I do that? There is a Calibre folder in Roaming.
