Thanks
25K are going to access books at the same instant?
Would even 10% ?
1%?
IMHO the load will affect the hardware long before the content serve collapses

Slow would be the first sign

Since Calibre costs zilch
and Linux costs 2x that

All you lose is time

BTW you could just run 2 x copies (2 servers, 2 library copies)
