iCloud in just a slower version of an NAS.

I don't think it's exactly the same scenario as a NAS. The way iCloud is implemented on the Mac is that your documents are stored locally and synchronized in the background with the copies in iCloud. So applications aren't actually trying to read or write to remote files, they are reading and writing local files that a background process then copies up to the cloud. Think of it as similar to Carbonite or any other cloud-based backup solution.

Anyhow, my bad. I didn't notice that the "Choose your calibre library" actually does let me access the folders protected by iCloud. I just couldn't reach them from my user home directory.

I just pointed Calibre to my Documents directory (which is protected by iCloud) and everything is working fine.
