No, it means I'm using my own server and Calibre server's OPDS capabilities. :-)

I *can* use either Safari to browse it and download from it, I can use ebook searcher to download books and I can use half a ton of other options.

I'm not a patient man, though - I want to open my ebook reader, jump to my Calibre OPDS feed, download a book and start reading. Took me about 5 seconds on Stanza.
I don't want to switch applications in between. Yes, that may look like nit-picking (and maybe it is! :-) ) but that's what I expect from an ebook reader and why I will buy one but not the other.

Thanks for your suggestion, though. I appreciate your willingness to help.
