I haven't found any plugin to do it, is anyone doing it? How?

Thank you!

Where is your 'Homepage'?
On what OS?
Can it run a 'Serverside' app


(The 'no formats' but with covers, requires this approach) Host must allow the content server.

Make a full copy of your Library (I will call it Visitor)
On Visitor:
Select all books: Right click: Remove Books: Remove all formats
You now have a Library of empty books
This will be your public Content Server Library. Run a Calibre content server with this Library

Use a Catalog book. Right click: Convert: Create Catalog: Select book type (EPUB or Mobi. most others do not have covers).

Distribute the Catalog book (to be viewed on their reading device)
