Same here, except I only have EDGE (iPhone 2G) so I try to download whatever titles I think I might want to read while I'm still at home and have WiFi. If I want to read something I currently don't have, I still have the peace of mind that I can get it from the Calibre server, except downloading is slow.
My only gripe with Calibre right now is it presents your library as one flat feed and there's no search feature making navigation a bit difficult. Currently working on a PHP script to remedy this behavior. Also studying the source code of server.py from Calibre to determine if maybe I can hack it for categorized view and searching.
itimpi has a Visual Basic script that creates categorized static XML feeds but I wanted something a bit more dynamic and with a search function.
