When Kovid and I discussed doing this some 18 months ago the idea was to turn calibre into a client/server application where the server could simultaneously handle multiple clients. The server could be hosted "in the cloud" on a platform that offers computation services as well as storage services. The current GUI (or something like it) would become a client, and other clients would appear. The content server would also become a client. One of Kovid's design goals for the new database backend was to support this model.
