An SSD is best for the OS and programs. To get a large enough SSD to also hold all the data, you'd need a large SSD and that ups the price.

I would say get at least a 256GB SSD for the OS and programs. Also get at least a 1TB hard drive for the data. I don't find Calibre to be too slow at all using a hard drive.

As for 16GB of ram, you don't need it. 8GB is plenty. a quad core 5th or 6th generation i5 or i7 would do for the processor.

As for the screen, a 15.6" or 17.3" full HD (1920x1080) screen because you'll want the most real estate for the Calibre GUI.

If I knew how much you were looking to spend, I could see what I could find for you.
