Yes, of course I could do that. And that's nearly the approach I'm taking at the moment: I save to disk all the books I want to import, start server at Cloudreaders and execute a shell script that uploads all the books to the iPad using curl application. But I'm sooo lazy that even opening a shell outside Calibre is a problem for me.

Your approach is fine, but my perfect solution would be to upload the books from the context menu of Calibre. I know it's a very specific problem (mainly a lazyness problem ) but I will be very happy if I can upload the books to iPad right from Calibre. I've made a little prototype and I have an alpha version of the plugin nearly finished...
