I have a N7 and I'm not sure that calibre could be ported effectively. Calibre's interface is fairly complex - with lots of functionality accessed through context menus, drop downs, etc. Trying to mimic these interface elements in Touch might result in substantial, but less than graceful, changes to interface element size, position and function.
Besides, I'm not sure that I would want to use calibre on a small screen device even assuming it had the processing power to handle the task. The workflow in calibre depends on being able to do a lot of typing to enter/correct metadata. All of which require a decent keyboard to interact with at speed in a reliable manner. Soft keyboards are not really up to this kind of extended usage regardless if they're swipe, standard or predictive.
Other than data entry, calibre is used to find, load and read ebooks. These tasks don't rely heavily on the keyboard. However, Calibre Companion excels at performing these tasks in Touch.
