Calibre2OPDS is a free tool which can read the Calibre database, and extract from it the information needed to generate HTML and OPDS catalogs inside the Calibre library folder.
If this folder is published to a web server, or shared using a syncing service, then OPDS-compatible programs (for example Stanza on an iPhone, or Aldiko on Android) can access these catalogs, and use them to automatically display your Calibre library in nicely sorted categories.
The last step is to create a cron job that runs every few minutes (I suggest 30) and uses this tool to generate the catalogs ; this way, when your computer is up and running, the catalogs are always up-to-date, and the syncing service automatically publishes them as they change.
NOTE: Detailed instructions about how you can get Calibre2OPDS running on your Mac are available in the included Readme file.
Requirements:
· Calibre 0.6 or later
· Java 1.5 or later
· (optionally) a mean of publishing the catalogs, e.g. a Dropbox account
