If I may, Calibre isn't terribly processor-intensive. I've run it on a netbook with a vintage second generation Atom on Vista. It runs fine.
I expect even the cheapest Atom-based 8in Wintabs will run it acceptably.
Now, the new Atom in the Surface 3 is a Quad core with 16 execution units and dual channel memory with much bigger memory bandwidth than even the last generation and is a whole new architecture reportedly capable of processing 4K video.
It may be a while before good benchmarks tell us how good this new Atom processor is but it's not the same underpowered architecture of the netbook heyday.
