Hmm I tried this and it seemingly works (no errors) but the server doesn't start.

There are programs that allow other programs to be run as a service. I haven't used them.
If you're willing to just minimize on start, there are tricks to do that, too.

Yeah I know how to have it minimize it but I really just want it in the background.

EDIT: Managed to create the service using this syntax:
sc create CalibreServ binPath= "C:\Program Files (x86)\Calibre2\calibre-server.exe"
The only thing I was missing was a space.
But when I try to start the service it says "Error 1053: The Service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely manner"
