Thanks, G.

The easiest way to browse your calibre collection on your Apple device (iPad/iPhone/iPod) is by using the calibre content server, which makes your collection available over the net. First perform the following steps in calibre

Set the Preferred Output Format in calibre to EPUB (The output format can be set under Preferences->Interface->Behavior)
Set the output profile to iPad (this will work for iPhone/iPods as well), under Preferences->Conversion->Common Options->Page Setup
Convert the books you want to read on your iDevice to EPUB format by selecting them and clicking the Convert button.
Turn on the Content Server by clicking the Connect/Share button and leave calibre running. You can also tell calibre to automatically start the content server via Preferences->Sharing over the net.

Where it offered to connect to an IP address it filled in an address that is one number off from the IP address of my network (n.n.n.132 instead of n.n.n.133). The Connect/share dialog in calibre shows that network connection as running. As far as I can see I can't access ebooks that are on my iPhone from calibre on my computer nor can I access ebooks that are on my computer from my iPhone. What should I be doing?
