I hear you — keeping Calibre as the single source of truth makes total sense if that's your workflow.
Right now BookShelves is built around its own library with iCloud sync, so it works across devices even away from your home network. Reading directly from a Calibre server would be a different mode, but it's not something I'm ruling out — there's clearly demand for it.
For now, the closest workflow would be importing a subset of books you actually want to read via OPDS or the direct Calibre library import (File → Import from Library Folder), rather than your entire collection. That way Calibre stays your master catalog and BookShelves just holds your active reading list.
I'll give the Calibre backend idea some proper thought.
