Hello, I'm new to the whole Calibre thing and was trying to set it up in a client/server environment which it doesn't like and in my quest to find an ebook management system that is friendly to a client/server environment I was pointed in the the direction of Calibre2opds. Before I send a couple more days trying to set up something that can't do what I need to do with it I have a few questions for anyone who might know the answers.

I have over 20GB of manuals and training material in various formats that I want to make downloadable over The Internet in an end-user selectable format so that they can read them on their personal ebook reader or PDA. I have an Apache web server already running and want to ingrate with it so that the library is just another link on the home page that is accessible after the user logs in.

I guess my question is can Calibre2opds be deployed in this manner and how do I configure it? Do I need to first install Calibre load it with the material, create catalogs, etc, then install and configure Calibre2opds to integrate the library with my existing web site? Or is Calibre2opds a standalone product install it, point to where I want to database created, point the web site to the database, import my material, and then?
