I'm not a techy - just really want to get calibre working as my library manager on the nexus. Thanks in advance.
The best instructions are in the sticky thread Calibre Companion Android App: Information, Change Log, and FAQ. See FAQ question #1. Let us know how things work out.

One point: the ports should not be both 8080. That won't work. Make the content server be 8080 and the wireless connection be 9090.
