Another way of putting it would be how much cash would be needed to increase the chance of implementing a feature ? I wouldn't expect it to replace the day job just yet...

For example I would pay something to allow one instance of calibre to be able to talk to another via the web service ( manually configured ) and have the servers library show up on the client and have a send to device button on the client. That way my main store would be on my server but I would connect the device up to my portable....
