It means exactly what it says: Windows XP and OSX don't support MTP, which is the USB interface used by Android. Ie if you plug an Android tablet into an XP or OSX computer, the computer won't see the tablet.

The iPad works extremely well with Calibre. All you need to make it work is the "iOS Reader Applications" Calibre plug-in.
