There already is a simplified user interface for calibre with limited functionality, the calibre content server. I suggest making improvements to that. Just see the amount of complaints my removing a toolbar from the viewer in 4.2 produced. Any attempts you make to dumb down the existing interface will basically drown in a sea of complaints. You would have to make basically two separate interfaces and then do all the work to implement interfaces for all the rest of calibre's functionality beyond the book list/viewer window.
