I love Calibre and contribute recipe updates often but don't really see the value of the server. I script things to download via command line and then send to kindle over email. It's more robust than the front end and less hassle than running a server you have to use the browser to access. Given file sizes are small (this week's Economist is about 15mb) it's perfectly Fine to us email.

One guy further up the thread has 350mb ebooks

  There are people who have 200GB of books (non-fiction only so none of the fiction books that seem to come out at an alarming rate every day)

    Books that are 350MB individually* Many comic books from recent humble bundles have been around that size, for example.

I use a docker container called CalibreWeb to view my Calibre library on any device. This is useful because I also read comics and Image sends me a .cbz file that I can put into Calibre then download via web to Chunky. The other cool things that the container I use does is set up accouts so it can just email me or my family directly to our kindles. It is wonderful. I will be checking out the built in server because it lets you edit metadata. If I can do that without having to go to my TV which acts as my servef monitor and am able to do it at a desk, I will be STOKED.
