Hmm.

I have a similar issue. Except Calibre runs automatically and 24/7 on the second machine. That way the rest of the family can download books to their devices without disturbing me, or my main machine.

Hadn't thought about using BTSync. What I was doing before was to use FreeFileSync and synchronize the libraries twice a week.
I learned early that I shouldn't sync the database file, otherwise the person on the second machine would open the book to the page I last read, not to the page they last read.
