Unfortunately that doesnt work for my use case since calibre requires a PC to be running and is not very NAS friendly in general.

Like I said, I'm just after a way to browse the network very simply and just select the books to read over wifi. Looks like the iPad could be able to do this technically, but I'm trying to confirm if any apps currently support this sort of behaviour before I spend money on it.
You can read through a web browser but even Stanza like Calibre requires a computer in order to transfer books files. Files still need to be fed to Ipad through "file sharing" section of the "apps" tab in Itunes.
