However, neither Chris's Droid X nor my Palm Pre will download from the server. We can access it and browse the collection, but cannot download anything. An .rtf file will open in the browser on Chris's Droid, but won't even do that on my Palm. Chris has Aldiko installed, so the phone had an app. that reads ePubs, so that shouldn't have been the problem, at least as I understand how that works.
Any ideas, anyone?

Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.
I am not sure what is or is not happening.

If the rtf file appears when using the browser, then the download happened. That implies that calibre is serving files. Have you checked calibre's log to see what calibre thinks is happening when you download an EPUB? Does it try and fail, or does something else happen?

It could be that the file is being downloaded but then not opened. In that case, you would need to find where the downloading app put the downloaded file, then try to open it with the reader SW.

Aldiko supports OPDS catalogs. Have you tried using that approach with the Droid?
