calibre-server is just the web front-end, right? That might work. The only reason I have calibre running 24/7 is for stanza access. I could do gui management stuff from my laptop pointing to the server shares for ebook and database storage. I'll play with that tonight and see if it satisfies my needs.

It sure would be nice if calibre supported mysql, postgresql, sql server express, or similar as a database target, though. That would remove database locking/corruption risks from multi-client scenarios, though you'd still have to deal with stale data, actual ebook file access, etc.
