I'm running Calibre with content server enabled on my netbook for quite some time; and it's great that I can get my ebooks from anywhere outside my home.

Just recently, I see a number of Android TV box which run Froyo and connect to LCD via hdmi cable. It is actually an Android device designed to sit near a TV. Here is some of the product I'm looking at:

Apart from using this box to make my LCD TV become a SmartTV, I intend to use it as a 24-hr torrent machine, and if possible, also run Calibre content server on it. Off course, I need to plug an external HDD for keeping all my ebooks (in thousands now). I believe it is more energy efficient than my netbook.

Any idea how to run Calibre content server on Android OS?
