Using Content_server to read (not get) books
Hi everyone !
Right now I'm conducting some experiments, trying to find solution for building small intranet web-based library. I've tried a whole bunch of different software, until found that Calibre has it's very own web-based server and it's working perfectly. But - that's just one part of what I want to have Second part - is it possible to use web-access to Calibre for reading books ? Without having to download book, without even any client-side application ? I've found some tool called Monocle, and even found it in Content Server - but I can't understand how to use it. I'd appreciate any help |

Calibre content server only serves (complete) books Remote desktop viewing is not bandwidth efficient. |

You could use the content server for browsing and an browser addon for reading the epub version of your books (EPUBReader for Firefox, MagicScroll for Chrome...).
