Thanks Kovid,
if I get You right You are suggesting to:
* Keep all my library on a "normal" PC.
* Keep a working server on NAS.
* rsync (or otherwise copy/syncronize) PC copy with NAS copy.
* Actually Calibre workflow *on PC* should be:
** stop server on NAS
** launch full Calibre on PC
** edit as needed (on PC)
** rsync PC -> NAS
** restart server on NAS

I do not understand a few things:
* why can't I keep all Lib on NAS and do the same workflow as before without needing to rsync?
* in this setup what if I need a different format? Will NAS server perform required conversion?
* can server handle USB devices (i.e.: kindle)? if so: how? They would be attached to a PC.
* as NAS is the only thing on 24/7, wouldn't be easier to run server+web-frontend there?

TiA!
