Hello, I have a question regarding the Calibre Content Server.

Well actually several. The first being: If I were to 'Upload' the books onto the server by keeping them in the Library, how safe would they be? Would it be safe to delete them from my PC? I'm guessing no.

Also, would it be possible for me to share my Library with users who are operating on a Nexus 7 Google tablet? I always share my books with them, and I would LOVE for them to be able to pick and choose which books they want and have them be able to read them at their leisure without having to wait for me to upload it for them. The people I speak of are my in-laws, by the way.

Also, I noticed that when I 'Get' a book from the Content Server, it gives me the option to download it. Would it be possible to 'Read' it from the server instead of downloading something I already have? Also, would they be able to download it by this method to their tablet?
