Another way of putting it would be how much cash would be needed to increase the chance of implementing a feature ? I wouldn't expect it to replace the day job just yet...

For example I would pay something to allow one instance of calibre to be able to talk to another via the web service ( manually configured ) and have the servers library show up on the client and have a send to device button on the client. That way my main store would be on my server but I would connect the device up to my portable....

You'd still need some way to hold the pledged payments and return them if it looks like a feature is not going to be implemented.

As for the client-server, why not just use the content server? Provided your device appears as mass storage device, you can just save whatever books you want directly to the device.
