That's a fair request, but right now BookShelves imports books rather than streaming them from an external server. So it does create a local copy.
If you do go the import route, BookShelves has direct Calibre library import (File → Import from Library Folder). Point it at your Calibre library folder and it reads metadata.db directly — titles, authors, series, tags, publishers, covers all come across automatically. No need to re-enter anything. But I understand that's still a copy, not what you're after if you want Calibre as the single source of truth.
A browse-and-read mode that connects to a Calibre content server without duplicating everything is a good idea though. I'll look into it.
