Not unless you use a virtual machine. Only one instance of calibre can run on one machine.

How about an instance of Calibre portable alongside regular calibre?

Didn't work for me when I tried last week, I did not try very, very hard
I'd prefer two panes with multiple tabs - like xplorer2 has - but I suspect that's a very big ask. Last edited by BetterRed; 07-31-2012 at 10:18 PM. |

You cannot run two instances of calibre in the same user account (calibre uses a per user global lock).
