Calibre
I'm trying to find out if Calibre has a way to share my library with friends without them being able to alter any settings I have or view other libraries I have, either by accident or deliberation.
I know Calibre has virtual libraries but cannot figure out how to share them. Any help would be most appreciated. Thank You |

It would help if you posted in the right place. There is a whole sub-forum here relating to Calibre.

@wolfie01-
I would recommend posting in the Calibre forum (or better, ask a Moderator to move this thread there instead of double posting). |

What you want is calibre's content server.
http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/gui.html#connect-share You will have to do additional work to allow other people to access it outside of your home WiFi network, using a service like any of the free offerings here: http://lifehacker.com/the-best-free-...dns-1561556205 NOTE: Please remember to set a password if you have any non-Public Domain/CC/licensed-to-be-shared (Baen Free Library-esque) books, and don't share them with anyone other than family members etc. -- it's not right to give people stuff they should be paying for. Not that I think you are doing that, I merely say this Just In Case. You can set a virtual library to use as a restriction on what books calibre will share over the Net.
