My "solution" to needing w/r access to one library from two or three machines was to run Calibre on one machine (an always-on desktop) that has the library and to control that machine remotely when I needed to work with the library in Calibre from another machine. That way, as far as Calibre was concerned, it was running on one machine with the library on a local volume.
My tool was TeamWeaver as it was the easiest cross platform tool as my remote access machines were a Win8.1 tablet and a MacOSX destop.
Getting a book from the host machine to one of the remotes was just a matter of using Save to Disk targeting a shared folder or using a file transfer function (TeamWeaver has one) when the remote access machine was working via the Internet instead of the local home network.
