I really wish there were simple instructions on how to set up the Calibre server. I don't understand why its address is 127.whatever when the rest of my network is 192.168.1.etc.

In the Connect/Share dialog, you can see the outside-facing IP address of the content server, which will be the machine's IP address. 127.0.0.1 is what you will see from the Preferences if you "Test Server", and is the address traditionally equivalent to
http://localhost* -- just take the port number from there and append it to the machine IP, an you should be fine. The machine IP is usually in the form 192.168.0.x.
* -- localhost by definition points to your own computer no matter the IP address (absent a deliberate redefinition in your HOSTS file).
