@Kovidgoyal
First off thanks so much for this program, it is very nice!

Regarding the webserver, would something like this be possible?

I don't like leaving my PC on 24/7, I have a NAS however that can function as a webserver and I do leave it on all the time. Is it possible to have my library stored on a network share and then copy the web files and use the NAS webserver with them? I can't even seem to find where the Calibre webserver stores the html files on my PC so I could peek at them.

Currently I'm just duplicating the contents of C:/Calibre Library to my NAS and serving it as is, nothing fancy just purely directory listing. I'd love to have the slick web interface of the normal Calibre webserver.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.
