That would be the "Kindle Touch/1-4" (to be exact, it is the Kindle 3).
But the device type only affects the default output profile, which determines the maximum resolution for images during an ebook conversion.
"Generic" is a pretty safe choice, though, as it tells calibre to not do anything device-specific.

Well, I did that. Opened Calibre and started to read the Quick Start Guide and I need someone to translate this into Luddite English, please.

The Quick Start Guide
tries to be easy to understand, but if you have any specific questions or things you are confused about, just ask and we can explain it!

I want to add books. I thought from the video that when I clicked on "add books" that it would bring up a dialogue box where I would type in author and title but instead it is taking me to a finder window.

Add Books lets you add ebook files from your computer/attached ereader. calibre will automatically figure out the title and author from the ebook metadatda.
You will need to select the *.azw3 files from your Kindle Keyboard (if you are adding the books you purchased from Amazon and downloaded with your Kindle).
