Oh, ha! Calibre's test page uses 127.0.0.1, which is localhost -- no matter what machine you're on, that address always points back to the local machine. So when you used 127.0.0.1 from the Android tablet or other PCs, it was expecting that device or PC to be running calibre's content server, which they obviously were not
