Calibre is portable but you'll need to start it from a batch file instead of directly plus it would be nice if the usb drive does have the same drive letter at home and at work.
Something like the following:

Code:
@echo off
setlocal
set CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY=.\Apps\Calibre\config
set PATH=%PATH%;.\Apps\Calibre\calibre
.\Apps\Calibre\calibre\calibre.exe --with-library .\Library
exit
Just tried it on my usb drive and it looks like it works. Its not fast but that might be cause of my usb drive being seen as usb 1.1 at the moment.

Regards,

Joop
