This might actually make the cross platform stuff a little easier too.

That might be cool, but that's re-inventing the wheel. I really like Calibre as it is, I just would like to see a remote library. Since most of the work to serve books via the content server is already done, I don't think this would be a major redesign. The Calibre client would just need to know the url/authentication of the remote server, request the metadata.db, display the books locally, and then request the books the user wants to send to the reader. The part that would require a bit more coding (IMO) is the sending of books to the central server.
Thanks for bouncing ideas around though, I really think this is a great program with even more amazing things to come.
