you can interface with calibre web via opds from eBook readers. basically you can browse and download books in your calibre server. I use koreader to do it. as for previous books she’s interested in I’d just look for them in the electronic library
You got any more specific info on how to do this? I spun up my caliber web container on my home server, but once I realized you can’t download books over the wifi, you still had to connect to a PC, I stopped hosting it.
the only thing to mind is that the opds address is not the calibre web one but <calibre address>/opds if I’m not wrong.
Also my calibre web does have a download button for the ebooks so if there is a browser on the kobo you should be able to download them. Are you using “calibre web” or “calibre” web?

What ebook readers are capable of this magic?
Any Kobo can install KOReader with a minor firmware update (that only needs to be done once). There’s instructions here: https://github.com/koreader/koreader/wiki/Installation-on-Kobo-devices It supports OPDS out of the box (though IMO is a little unintuitive to use)
koreader is an android app, for e-book readers based on android.

from what I’ve read it can be installed on the kobo (may need root)
here’s a picture of how to set up koreader
