portable already uses the env var trick to use its own config folder, so if you are using portable then my suggestion wont work. But portable is fine for your use case provided you keep your kiosk library separate from the main library and under the portable folder dir. The run portable for kiosk and normal for when you need to access the main library. You can also have th emain library access the kiosk library to transfer books/edit metadata/whatever there.

The downside of this is you have to remember to keep portable and main calibre versions in sync.
