I was playing with this just yesterday, and it works very well. One can run the server independently from the main Calibre application, and rendering of its pages on K3 browser is reasonably good (there are several formats of varying complexity to choose from). K2 and Calibre server don't seem to play, though - it seems that the server is not satisfied with K2 request format (it also balks if one simply tries to access it with "naked" GET request on its port using telnet). When I find some time I will snoop a bit at the K2 requests.
Just make a shortcut to start
calibre-server.exe with appropriate parameters, or you can use one of the utilities to start is as a service (starting with Vista Microsoft does not seem to include this capability in its resource kit).
