Updating it was super simple - I'd add the book in Calibre, then click on Calibre2OPDS and generate catalogue.

Now that I have updated Calibre to Calibre2, that link is broken. Whenever I key in my shortened url, it downloads an index.html that leads nowhere. I'm not sure what's going on here. Any help will be very welcome!
I believe that Dropbox have discontinued the ability to have a Public folder that acts like a web server. I am not sure if there are still any cloud services that provide this type of capability.
