I just found this post this morning and I think this is brilliant. I don't expect to be getting a reader until Christmas time so I'm trying to adapt to reading on my iPhone in the interim.

As a suggestion to more advanced users, you can set your router to forward the port onto the machine running Calibre. Instead of using an IP address, you can use a dynamic dns domain name and essentially access your library anywhere you can find internet access.

Notes:
- I had to use xxxxxx.dyndns.org:8005/stanza to reach it. I put it on 8005 because I already use 80 and 8080 for other things on my network. Any port should work as long as you forward it correctly.
- Running servers may be a violation of your TOS agreement with your ISP. In most cases, they probably won't care... but ye are forewarned.
