Only ONE Calibre session (the server is a session and can have multiple clients) can use a Library at a time.

Ha, thanks for the explanation.... it sounds like I am doing things all wrong then. I really wanted the ability to haver all my books at home and download them to the ipad when needed. Most are technical books for work so being able to get the book I need when out on a job would be perfect.
I currently have a convoluted way of carrying all the books around with me on an external drive.
I need to find another solution then. Thanks for your pointers though
