We're just really starting to use Calibre and a pair of Kobos in our house; and with four computers and a RAID server, I'd like to think that having the Calibre library on the Raid, with each computer running a client of some sort, would make sense. So far what I've seen suggests that the "simple" file sharing approach works, but only if you are religious about making sure that only one computer on the net is actually running Calibre at a time.

Is there any reasonably straightforward way to set this up so that we can have a multi-user Calibre library on the home net?

Thanks!
