Have a look at http://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux. At the bottom is a partial list of dependencies. You can go without Podofo if you aren't going to be doing much with PDF. Also you will need to install build essential and the dev packages for poppler.

Here is a quick rundown of getting started.

Code:
bzr pull lp:calibre
python setup.py develop
I like to use --prefix install_path with develop to install into a custom location. If you got complaints about missing dependencies then install them.
