SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       Start  the  calibre content server. The calibre content server exposes your calibre library over the internet. The default interface allows
       you to browse you calibre library by categories. You can also access an interface optimized for mobile browsers	at  /mobile  and  an  OPDS
       based interface for use with reading applications at /opds.

       The OPDS interface is advertised via BonJour automatically.

       Whenever you pass arguments to calibre-server that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments in quotation marks.
