I've got a 901, and I'm not even thinking about considering trying to put Calbre on it with the stock OS -- it's a bastardized version of Xandros, and it won't handle ... well, a lot of things. Most things. Worse, it seems like ASUS has abandoned us Linux users; even the online software download site (which, admittedly, used to be about 98% links to random websites, and very little software) is offline. I don't even have a functional ebook app for the 901 (it shipped without one). *sigh*
Once the current chaos in my life has settled out a bit, I'm planning to solve the problem by putting some other flavor of Linux on it -- one that's actually, y'know, supported. I'm thinking one of the Ubuntu variants.
I was under the vague and probably mistaken impression that the 701 came with some flavor of ebook reader; rummage around a bit (or google around a bit). You won't have the organizing features you would with cailbre, but it might do what you need.
