Fully Functional Calibre Network Server on Debian / OpenMediaVault
In my ongoing war with DRM I have been priming up my library of classic books and DRM-free books, but I needed a better way to pass the books to my devices, to read them, and to organize them. I decided since i already have a computer that runs a file server and media server, I can also now add a book server. I was not able to find concise instructions for how to build the server on Debian that would match my OpenMediaVault build, so here is my solution.

In business news, a new proposed bill will be harder on monopolies...like Amazon who is trying to penalize businesses who sell cheaper to walmart...which we know uses monopolistic tactics to squeeze businesses prices too low. but fedex will not be renewing a contract. Finally, a crony deal was discovered between Yelp and Grubhub...can we just close down both companies now?
