Hi,

(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)
My webpage is on my VPS server, running Linux, I have PHP and Python on the server side. But I'd prefer if this would be a static generated HTML/JS/CSS set of files, since my collection of books doesn't change much. And that I could generate from a command line tool like I already generate some calendars and other stuff from local software.

I'll have a look at Calibre Content Server (I didn't know it), but what I've seen quickly it's not exactly what I'd like, I'd like something simpler to maintain (just a set of html files).

Thank you for the answer,
