There would be quite a lot of work in trying to get it to run on the Raspberry Pi (assuming it even can within the resource constraints of the Raspberry Pi).
The standard distribution of Calibre assumes an Intel based machine and as such it will not run on the Raspberry Pi which is ARM based.
The question then becomes what is involved in producing an ARM version compatible with the Pi? The Main Calibre program is written in Python, and this would not be an issue as the Pi already ahs Python support included in the standard distributions. However it does have components written in other languages that would need porting, and it has a LOT of dependencies on other packages from third parties.. This means that you would need to build to get all of these ported to the Pi to give you the needed ARM compatible versions.
At the end of getting all that working I think you would find that Calibre would run like a dog at best (although I would like to be proved wrong).
