You have to maintain the library from a windows, os/x or linux platform (preferably only one of them). Calibre doesn't take that much space ~200MB for 64bit, ~30MB for config data and say 2.5GB for a reasonable size library - so 3GB is maybe all you'll save.
Unless you have a lot of large 'books' eg I have one library that's 600GB, but its full of video, audio and image albums.

My config folder is 7.79 MB, 7.09 MB of which is the plugins and assorted stuff. (And 4.42 MB of
that is a database cache for OverDrive Link).
There is no way to avoid having the files saved on
the computer a mounted drive at some point, but disk space is usually pretty cheap.
My laptop is old enough to have a 40 GB HDD, which is pretty cramped.
So I keep a lot of things on my flashdrive, including my calibre libraries.
