I'm trying to figure out if there is a method to use calibre as a client and server. Let me give you an example:

I have a large ebook library that I have installed with Calibre on a centralized server in my home. What I would like to do is open up Calibre on my laptop and browse the books on the centralized and import them into the library on my laptop.

I do know I can use the web page portion of the server to do this, but then I have to browse, download, import. I'm trying to get away from using the import process and using this method for all my computers in the house.

Ebooks seem to be one of the last steps to centralizing my media in this method. For audio I do this with itunes. For videos I use XBMC with a centralized SQL server. I'm really hoping there is something like this I can do for ebooks.

If this can't be done - what are some other ODS clients (other than stanza) that may work for me?
