Notes:
As the path to the books is contained in an SQL database I've only been able to update the drive letter by the normal method & not the full path (which results in a corrupt database). I know Firefox Portable does this but I haven't been able to adapt it yet so FBReader Portable is "drive", but not "path", portable & DirectoryMoveOK is set to "warn". Any help would be appreciated :-)
It seems that as soon as FBReader encounters a font not present it resets all font customizations. I haven't found a solution so Options/CSS/Always Use My Own Fonts is deselected on every run.
Still a nice lightweight alternative to calibre though :-)
No UPX.
