Well calibre currently has about 10k users, and the number is growing. Assuming half use the webapp and download an average of 3 periodicals a week that's 3*5000*800 which is about 50GB a month. That's tolerable, but say a year down the road if the number of users/periodicals increases this could become 500GB.

I agree that a webapp is more suitable for people that don't have a computer they keep switched on 24/7 with broadband access, especially for daily publications.

But if you're willing to tolerate the bandwidth costs, I'll be happy to help develop a webapp. Technically it would be pretty simple to do.
