Based on information in this thread, I checked out calibre cloud today, and while it has nothing on calibre companion, it is an implementation of most of what I would like for option 2.

Calibre cloud connects to a Calibre library in dropbox (and other cloud solutions) and has an option to send a book to another app.

If calibre companion published the ability to receive epub, you would only have to read the metadata in the received epub and add it to the library. On the next connect, you could grab the missing metadata (computed columns, etc) I can't speak for anyone else, but this would give me almost anything I wanted. Bonus points if you check if the book was already in the CC database and ask if the person wanted to add a duplicate.

The nice thing about this is that it also works for people who get epub in emails or from the Internet.

Is this something that is doable, or am I missing something.
