Try again. Make sure PC is on, start Calibre. Make sure Iriver is on at a high level (i.e. not in a book). Connect Iriver USB cable to PC and Iriver in any order.
As Greenapple says, keep a hawk-eye on the Iriver until you see two lines, near the bottom, saying something like Connect USB and Charge Battery. As Greenapple says, I think the default is Charge Battery and you have about 13 nanoseconds to press the down key to move it to Connect USB and press Enter (just joking, you have probably about five seconds but this is not the time to hesitate!).
After a while, possibly a minute or more, you will see the heart icon at top middle of Calibre, just to the right of the Library icon, turn to a picture of an ereader, and you should see a message on your screen that Calibre has now found your Iriver. At least I see the message on my Mac, you might not see it on Windows or Linux, I don't know.
Then you can swap between PC Library (library icon) and Iriver library (ereader icon). When you right click a book in PC Library, you will be given several choices one of which is something like Copy book to Device Main Memory. If you accept this, Calibre will create a folder for the author at the top level on your Iriver, and put the ebook into that folder. If you don't want it at the top level, you can use your equivalent of Windows Explorer to move it somewhere else, but that's probably as good a place as any.
Check out some other threads under Iriver for suggestions on how to arrange your books on the Iriver, and a few hitches that can show up with certain file name formats.
And BTW, you, too! Welcome to MR and Iriver.
