It could be "misuse" depending on your contract with an ISP. However it probably only is if you use a lot of bandwidth this way.
My ISP could not care less as long as use is not excessive as in using 100% bandwidth 24/7.
If it works on mobile (as a server) I do not know. Maybe @MontyJ can confirm it works or not?

I do not disagree with you here. However it might be the only way open to someone who does not or cannot open ports in his/her router and use port forwarding.
Also hosting books is better not done on a public server. The legality of hosting (even storing) books night be questionable (even illegal) depending on where you live. So hosting on your own server protected by passwords and SSL is the only option.

Possible even probable.

Since that was personal use by the people living here it didn't contravene T&C. Our home internet was 8 Mbps down / 1 Mbps up (typcally 7.4 Mbps & 0.95 Mbps), so the VPN gave 1 Mbps download and 8 Mbps upload to the home LAN. It was DOCSIS (cable protocol) over a 13km microwave link. I shut it down in 2010 when I stopped travelling.
Now we are on fibre and it's 500 Mbps down and 50 Mbps up. Speedtest just now gives download 554.18 and upload Mbps 55.34, but the T&C still forbid self hosting, which other than a secured VPN for you own private use of email and banking out on a public Wifi is a mug's game. Public WiFi can have MiM attacks on HTTPS.

Again, it depends on your ISP and where you live. My IPS even helps with howto's for portforwarding. Running my own IPv4 and IPv6 server(s) for gaming, websites, VPN's, etc. is allowed.
I sometimes forget how restrictive internet can be in some parts of the world or with some IPS's.
