Dont' understand about your remarks with to "file synch process" - you've more to tell me more about it yes?

More I should know yes?

TIA
calibre-server (simple web server with downloadable catalog of your books) is a good option if all you need to do is download books to the device. If you intend to edit metadata, you will of course need to run the calibre GUI...

It is perfectly safe to do so as long as you do not run two copies of calibre at the same time using the same library, and make sure to sync all changes before and after running calibre.
The simplest way is to simply put your books in Dropbox or similar (not Google Drive, it breaks things major time). Dropbox will sync your library, and all changes will propagate to each computer.
Make sure to sync beforehand, so your library is current.
Do not run Dropbox while calibre is running, or they will fight over the files.
Make sure to sync all changes after you close calibre.
