This is usually directed to port 443 For example, when you use a web address of the form This will connect to port 443 not port 80. http + ssl is web traffic over a secure socket connection. As far as I know, the browser is restricting the web port to the default value of 80. For instance, if you try to go to a web site with and address of the form. OK, now the tricky part is that the Kindle web browser will not allow arbitrary ports to be specified as part of the web address. You should be prompted for the user name and password you entered into the Calibre Content Server setup dialog. Using your web browser you can direct it to your local machine running Calibre by entering 127.0.0.1:8080 into the web address. Start by setting up the Calibre Content Server 1) Assign a port (default is 8080) 2) provide a user name and password Start the Calibre Content Server and verify that the you can see web page being generated by Calibre. Each of these problems require a workaround. Third, the Calibre Content Server doesn't want to use restricted ports (1-1024) on all of the versions of windows that I've tried. Second, the Kindle doesn't seem to allow arbitrary port numbers to be entered into the web address of the browser. This means I can't run a web server on a standard port. First, my ISP blocks incoming port 80 traffic. There are few problems that I had to work around. In effect, your entire Calibre library of supported formats can be accessed directly from your Kindle. This will allow you to search your Calibre library, and download supported formats directly from you home computer to Kindle using the wireless connection.

I've discovered how to easily access the Calibre Content Server from the Kindle web browser.
