Sharing Calibre library - Bittorrent Sync?

Hi,

My Calibre library is stored on my Win7 desktop. Calibre is installed on the C:\Program Files directory in the normal way (non-portable) and the library itself is on my D: drive.

This first machine is what I use to add/delete books, fix covers etc.

I would like to share/sync the library to another Win7 laptop. I want this second machine to simply be able to browse an up-to-date version of the library without requiring any user intervention (the user of this 2nd machine is non-technical and finds managing and updating the Calibre library extremely confusing). They won't need to delete books or fix metadata, I will do this fromt he first machine.

Is this possible? I was thinking of sharing both the library folder and the database file with Bittorrent Sync via Read-Only mode...

I searched the forums about sharing libraries but I read lots of warnings about the database becoming corrupted ?

Using the built in content server is not an option because I don't want Calibre running 24/7.

Thanks for any suggestions
