I can download an epub on my mobile. I can email an epub from my mobile.

I can't run calibre from my mobile. I can rename .epub to .png and email that from my mobile.

Yes, I can host calibre somewhere else. No, my technologically savvy friends and family cannot. I also don't want them to depend on me to be able to convert an epub for their kindle when there's a trivial solution that doesn't require additional dependencies.

There's a "less" missing in there, oops.
