Using different computers?

I'm looking to get a 900 in the hopefully near future and was just contemplating file management. I'm a bit of a nomad, computer-wise. I have "my" laptop, and the family/DH's desktop that I use at home. At work, I'm all over the freakin' place depending on where I'm assigned on a given day, using group or semi-private (access restricted to users in my division) although I do have an office computer that is limited to me. A lot of my reading will be scientific articles that I find during the course of my workday. Which I may find wherever I happen to be at the moment, looking up stuff relevant to a case. It would be keen if I could just plug in my reader and sideload (that's the right term, yes?) it on wherever I am, without having to register something or install anything.

So, does it work that way, or do I need a "base" computer of some kind? If I install Calibre to manage my files, can I install it on one of my home computers and access that organizational goodness from elsewhere?

TIA!
