Couldn't one utilize Calibre to host a server and files locally? At the very least, one could temporarily set up Calibre, see that it works as a server, and then investigate it's setup and incorporate its features to your own server.

You can (and many do), but the Kindle can only access web servers running on port 80. Since it's not easy getting Calibre's content server to run on port 80, you have to have the ability (and the know how) to redirect port 80 requests at your router to 8080 (or somesuch) on your Calibre machine. It can be a bit much for some.
As for examining Calibre's content server setup -- unless you're intimately familiar with Python (and CherryPy) -- that's easier said than done.
