Libraries on USB

Hi All
Just wondering if Im missing something. I have 9,000+ books split into various libraries on a USB under Calibre Portable which I use on various machines.
When I change from machine to machine the drive letter changes so when I try to change library I have to manually change the drive letter and tell it it was moved. Is there some way of having the drive letter update automatically?

@djeff71 - relocate the libraries within the Calibre Portable folder - with different names of course

You can also use the PortableApps.com version, which should fix the drive letter automatically like all PortableApps.com launchers.
