FYI, If you often update Calibre, you may want to consider installing the development environment and running from source. The update process uses the Bazaar version control system, which just gets the files that have changed and it installs only those modified files. An update on Windows might typically take me 60 - 90 seconds. The normal Windows .msi binary package install has to download the entire Calibre package, even if only minor changes were made to a few files, and then you have to wait for Windows to double check all the unchanged files. Plus, with source, you get faster access to improvements and bug fixes (yes, I know that K's typical 6-7 day release schedule is already ultrafast!).
I have a single batch file that runs the update, and I just click it when I see there's a new version, or when a fix has been announced that I need.
