ok - so you are describing proper servers, I am describing peer-to-peer PCs on a network.
I assume the OP is running some "server" software on a normal PC which I guess falls somewhere between the two.. if I run something like plex media server on my home network and request a video stream to my PS3, then plex on the "server" PC will do all the conversion work, and it's CPU will get hammered.. but you don't stream epubs....
anyway I still don't see the benefit, or the time saving, of not downloading the whole eobok file- we're talking kilobytes, not Gigabytes
