Using Calibri As a digital library for my book
How secure is it using Calibres share option? will my ISB be able to see the books that I have shared? Has anyone used it personally? If you have what are the ways that you use it? I hear that people use it to transfer to their kindles. Just want to make sure I wont be shooting myself in the foot

If you set it up as just local sharing, ISP can't see. If it's public IP, in theory, since you don't seem to use HTTPS, they can. However, they won't.
I think people ise Calibre with Send to Kindle email feature, not the content server. I find that somewhat pointless as I have to wait for it to show up on my kindle when I can just use USB to make it show up instantly, as a format that I choose, without using any Amazon's server. In fact, I have never turned on the Internet access for my kindle.
What makes you say that they wont?
Realistically, ISPs don't typically monitor small personal servers. Copyright concerns are primarily the domain of rights holders, who would need to file a formal complaint. However, for long-term use, it's better to implement a more secure setup. Use reverse proxy + calibre docker image to make it use HTTPS.
Btw, given the circumstances, it's likely you're only using an internal IP (e.g., 192.168.xxx.xxx), which is inaccessible to your ISP. If that's the case, there's no need for concern. You don't even have to censor it actually, since that doesn't really mean anything outside your network.
Exposing your public IP to the internet is a giant pain in the b, especially given that you don't seem to understand all this very much. Unless you specifically need external access, just use internal network. Even then, find other ways to accomplish the same result(Tailscale/Wireguard...etc).
