Hi Chaley,

Sounds like I need to drop a few dollars to check out CC as well At the moment I'm fine with the app I'm using - and has high WAF as well, but I haven't gotten to the point of setting up my Internet access to it yet, so we'll see.

WRT xvfb, we may be talking at cross purposes at this point. I'm able to fire up calibre-server as my linux box starts up. I don't use xvfb, and I'm then able to connect to calibre-server via my android app. Now if I wanted to make metadata changes I'd need to shut down calibre-server and fire up the GUI, but I can live with this for the benefit of the server auto-starting without me having to log in when the box fires up.

..and note that as chaley mentions, you can't daemonize the wireless device connection protocol, so don't attempt to use client apps that don't support hard-coding in the configuration of the Calibre server (IP : port and optionally user/pass)
Unless the client uses MDNS (bonjour), which (for example) Stanza does.
This is interesting. So the MDNS option is separate from the wireless device connection protocol. That makes me happier, from a logic point of view.
