It just is able to read a Calibre database. I personally like this 3rd party server better than the one that is built into Calibre. Anyway, Calibre-Web has a "Read in Browser" option, and that is what I used from the client devices. The client devices use a web browser to access the Calibre-Web server. With this setup I do not have to download books locally. And it remembers reading position, but only on a per-device basis. It does not sync reading position across different devices.

.
I've tried to use the calibre server but I do not like its interface and the way it shows pdf files.

So now I've installed Calibre-web and I've found what you have already said before, but it's pretty similar to what I'm searching for and there is already an opened issue so that to have the last page synced between devices.
Is there any sub forum thread that discuss this software?
