I have calibre running under Windows 7 Universal 64-bit OS. I have a new Acer Iconia Tab A500, which is Android 3.1 tablet.

Unfortunately, also Iconia connects to PC via USB and registers itself with Windows it does it not as a removable disk, but as media device. And though manually I can do the same manipulation Iconia files in Windows Explorer as I would do with removable disk, because Windows does not assign a disk letter, calibre does not detect the device.

It was suggested to me by Kovid Goyal to use content server. So far, everything I saw on the subject is too technical and too Apache and Linux centric.

Does anybody have a step-by-step instruction how to configure calibre content server under Windows (preferably using IIS) and how to hook to an Android device with Aldiko reader?

Thank you very much.
