Actually, a streaming reader (that delivers only the currently needed part of the book) is fairly easy to implement and is in fact on my TODO list for the calibre content server.

For formats that have the text split up in multiple flows, like EPUB, this can "stream" chunks of the text, and for formats that dont, like MOBI, it can still at least stream images separately.
