Another difference is that Portable does not contain the Export/Import library feature. This MIGHT be an issue if you ever want to change the O/S that calibre is running on from (say) Windows to Linux or MacOS; one thing that Export/Import handles is the difference in fIlE CaSe sensitivity of differebt O/S's and path length.
