If you use Port 80 Redirect, what would happen is the address
http://fakename.no-ip.org will redirect to http://<external_ip>:37419. Assuming you have port 37419 forwarded to the calibre server on your computer, that means you only need to use
http://fakename.no-ip.org to access the calibre content server. No need to add a port number at the end.

I don't think you need to enable port triggering. Which one of your routers assign the local IP addresses (check for an option named DHCP Server and see which router has it enabled)? Whatever worked for utorrent will likely work for the web server.
Assuming you don't have Port 80 Redirect enabled on no-ip, the following settings should give you your calibre server on
http://fakename.no-ip.org:28080
Code:
Server Name External Port Start External Port End Protocol Internal Port Start Internal Port End Server IP Address
calibre 28080 28080 TCP 8080 8080 192.168.227.137
