Hi,

Thanks for the quick response.

I can't do it on a home server unfortunately, since I am almost continuously mobile these days with work. I could potentially get someone I know to do it, but since it requires the computer to be on all he time I think it's too much of an ask.

Presumably though, I could install Calibre server onto a paid-for web server service like GoDaddy? If so, are there any specific things to look out for in web hosting that would allow/disallow it?
I imagine hosts also have issues with copyright, but presumably this only applies to public-facing files, am I right?
If I had Calibre server running in a password protected way on a web host, is there any way the host or Google might crawl it, find copyright files (which I want to reiterate I do actually own myself) and close the account or issue takedown requests?

Assuming I have Calibre server up and running, password protected, on a web hosting service, are you saying I can then use Marvin to browse and download from the catalogue?

Thanks again for your help.
