[feature] Calibre wireless connection

[clonex10100]

I would love to be able to wirelessly send books from calibre to plato, just like in koreader: https://github.com/koreader/koreader/wiki/Calibre-wireless-connection

I am interested in (attempting) to implement this feature, but how should it be added to the UI? It requires a small amount of configuration (password, directory to store synced books in, and a few other things).

Should it be added as a "calibre" app? Or maybe there should be a "syncing" app that could act as an interface for this feature and the other different sync features that have been proposed (#111, #74)

Thanks for any input.

The hook infrastructure is the mechanism used for this kind of task. I've written an example Wallabag fetcher that might give you some hints on how to proceed. I'm trying to prevent the main binary from depending on the reqwest package because of the ridiculous number of dependencies that it pulls in.

attohttpc exists, which only has 4 dependencies. Whether it has enough features for the article fetcher or other possible hooks I'm not sure, but I highly doubt that it doesn't.
