that addon still downloads the book somewhere which is not what im after.

sort of looking for a "Streaming" style like you can do with tvshows etc where it stays on the host PC.
Any web page (EPUB,PDF...) you see is Downloaded (or you would not see it )
If you have bandwidth: you could run VNC on your (GUI) Host and
run http://www.realvnc.com/products/android/1.1/userguide/ VNC terminal on your honycomb device.
Calibre viewer (or any other program) would be running on the 'server'
