There are no problems with running a portable and an installed version, as long as you don't have both opening the same library at the same time. As to multiple portables, no idea, but I cannot imagine why there should be issues with that. The same caveat applies, of course.

What is your line of thinking here? How will this help you?

I imagine that one Portable will be the main library, the other will be a "testing" type install.

So you add a book using the "testing" install, then what happens in the other install with the main library?

One main for everything, keeping every book I add unmodified. Only modifiing a copy of the book when I need/want to. Converting a Kobo book i buy to KFX for my kindle, for example.

The other just for removing DRM. After DRM the book will go into my main library.

No reason the two installs… one with the deDRM plugin installed, the other without it… couldn't access the same library.

Not sure I'm allowed to ask this here: Does the deDRM plugin have an option to retain watermarking but remove DRM encoding? Or this: Can the deDRM plugin be disabled?

Can the plugin be disabled, see attachment - if so, then that might be preferable to maintaining two portables and switching between them.

Takes a few seconds to add a book to the DeDRM Calibre (removing the DRM). Then add the resulting file to the main Calibre. Not much different than going into settings and enabling/disabling the plugin all the time. Plus I won't have to worry about forgetting to turn it back off. I won't be maintaining the DeDRM Calibre at all.
