I'd like to be able to read my favourite ebooks from my usb stick on any computer. At the moment I can't do that as Mobipocket Reader has to be installed on a PC.
We can listen to our music from a memory stick, why not read a favourite book as well?
I'll be posting a similar request on the Mobipocket forum. I'd just like it packaged as a Portable App.

Calibre is more than just an Ebook reader, it includes:
I have the portable version on a thumb drive, but for someone that just wants to use it to view books it will probably seem a little over kill.
Edit: I'm not suggesting don't try it, if you want a serious ebook reader it's probably one of the best out there, and the only serious portable one I'm aware of.
