Some advice needed - Android

Apologies if this is in the wrong place.

I've been using Calibre for a while to (slowly) combine the various collections of ebooks my wife and myself have scattered over various PCs, Laptops and network shares. I've finally got my library to a point where most of the books have metadata and covers, and are in consistent formats and I can export books to my Android phone via the 'connect to folder' option in the content server. The library is on a network share and at the moment Calibre is running locally on my desktop, although I can move it to a dedicated PC if required and I'm familiar with opening ports on my router etc.

However I've just gotten hold of two Archos 80 G9 Android tablets, which appear as media devices rather than a drive letter. What I'd like to be able to do is access the library directly from a reader app without using a browser to make it as easy as possible for my wife to use. The problem is I've managed to confuse myself greatly reading topics about Calibre2OPDS and various Android readers.

So I guess what I'm asking is what Android app with allow me to access my Calibre library directly, and should I be using the Calibre content server or Calibre2OPDS?
