Calibre has a command line interface as well that would be useful to use on the ReadyNAS via ssh. This way you could setup cron jobs so that it could automatically create e-book versions of the magazines and newspapers that it supports.
Unfortunately, I cannot get the linux version of Calibre to install because it doesn't have a working version of bzip2, and when I try to install it I get the following:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
bzip2: Depends: libbz2-1.0 (= 1.0.3-6) but 1.0.5-6 is to be installed
E: Broken packages
BigBertha:/usr/bin/calibre#
