Mmmh, my directories are all already shared but I never thought about accessing the calibre libraries on the main computer that way. I wonder whether it'll be very, very slow, but that's definitely worth a try! Thank you!
Don't bother. It's just a way to integrate the Calibre content server into an existing web server. As you're already using the CS directly, it doesn't give you anything you don't already have.

Sharing your main Calibre library directory over the net and pointing your local Calibre at that directory will work, but you'll have to make sure that there is no other copy of Calibre active when you do, or Bad Things will happen.

A client-server Calibre setup (which is what you want) is on the roadmap for after the Great Database Backend Rewrite, Kovid said when someone else asked for this functionality recently.
