Good point! One argument against it appears in the following scenario: You are out and about on a weekend trip. In an unexpected discussion with a friend you want to check when you have read "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". With LibraryThing you can check easily; with Calibre you would need to expose your local Calibre server to the internet which due to my limited server security knowledge I'm not dare enough to do.
