I was just wondering if this topic has been revisited recently.

My father in law is getting pretty old, and lives in another state.

I have given him access to my books collection via the web (using Calibre Content Server).

He can really only handle the old style Paper White devices, (most of the new ones are too heavy for him to hold for a long time.)

If he could open my content then click "email the book" then selected his kindle address, Amazon would take care of the rest.

Downloading the book to a folder and side loading it, or installing Calibre proper would be way over his head.

I really love Calibre, and the content server. I think it is one of the most useful tools I have.

Thank you so much Kovid for this program.

Mark.
