Calibre works under Linux, so I suggest dual booting to Linux or running a Linux virtual machine. I recommend Wubi, which allows you to install Ubuntu directly from Windows (including Windows 2000) and then have the option of booting into Windows or Ubuntu. If you don't like it, just uninstall like any Windows application.

By the way, my very first response was to suggest buying a more modern computer (but installing Linux is a good way to extend the life of old hardware and costs nothing but your time to try). Netbooks are small laptops which come with Linux or Windows XP Home Edition pre-installed. For example, Amazon has the "Acer Aspire One 8.9-inch Mini Laptop (1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, XP Home, 6 Cell Battery) White" for $400 and the "ASUS Eee PC 900HA 8.9-Inch Netbook (1.6 GHz Intel ATOM N270 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, XP Home, 4 Cell Battery) Shiny Black" for $346. These are not even the cheapest netbooks, but give you an idea of what is available.
