IMHO, 4GB is the bare minimum nowadays. I've been using Calibre for about fifteen minutes now, and the amount of free (unused) memory in my system has dropped to under 512 MB. All of the rest is in either active use, or used as cache. This system has 8GB of RAM.
If your computer uses DDR3 memory, looking into a memory upgrade is a sensible thing to do; DDR3 is practically free, compared to DDR2. (At least here, in the Netherlands.)
If DDR2 hadn't been so expensive, I'd even have upgraded this almost six year old system to 16 GB.
