My primary computer which runs my Calibre library and all else computer related is an inexpensive Asus laptop with an Intel core I3, 2.4ghz with 4 gb of ram and a standard hdd. It is running Windows 8/64 and is around 2 years old. It runs Calibre easily. I sometimes use its reader as well as the Kindle reader. While I only have 300/400 books in my library it handles them and all associated converting, etc. with ease.
I'd not worry too much about the device...use what you can afford and prefer to use/carry.
Good luck and keep us informed.
