Thank you very much for that

just what I needed to read :P

now my only Gripe is it looks like kindles will only work on port 80 ...
assuming Amazon is blocking all other ports on the 3G Network

Thankfully I don't use port 80 for anything else


calibre-server -h
Usage: calibre-server [options]

Start the calibre content server. The calibre content server
exposes your calibre library over the internet. The default interface
allows you to browse you calibre library by categories. You can also
access an interface optimized for mobile browsers at /mobile and an
OPDS based interface for use with reading applications at /opds.

The OPDS interface is advertised via BonJour automatically.


Whenever you pass arguments to calibre-server that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments in quotation marks.

--version show program's version number and exit

-h, --help show this help message and exit
