I had done the dropbox thing initially - it works fine, but is pretty much the same web-browsery experience as using Calbre server except a little less nice. I'm not too concerned about being able to access content 24/7 in the cloud, really just trying to find the most streamlined way to get updated content to the machine. I would love it to be the book version of a podcast player on my phone!
I do also read stuff on my phone a lot, but I'm trying to migrate as much as I can to the reader because it's just a much more pleasant experience and not as hard on my eyes. Calibre does an amazing job of packaging content feeds for the e-reader. I am really loving the hardware so far. It's so much better than reading on a phone or tablet.

Koreader also has a "Progress Sync" feature, so, if your phone and tablet are Android you can have Koreader on them all and be able to go from device to device and keep reading from where you left off. (Android,Kindle,Kobo, and PocketBook devices) Koreader's use of the calibre server is just by menu selection, no browser is used. The "Local calibre catalog" is just one of those supplied, there are others like "Project Gutenberg", "Feedbooks", and "ManyBooks". You can add OPDS catalogs by just entering their URL and giving a name for the listing.
