Thanks @kovid for your response.

When you say run calibre content server on central machine and connect from other computers, do you mean connect on the browser or is there a way to open the database/books in the calibre software? The content server on browser is not ideal for me for editing etc...and would prefer to do it from the software on the laptop (if for example main library on mac mini). But if running content server on one computer, you can't access that database on another computer running calibre can you? Only via the browser?

Could you also access the database through two macs network locations (not the NAS)? Would this be using the Connect to folder feature? Or would this not work?

Thanks,

Inukami
