Quick question:
Have you actually tried to run Calibre on, say, a 7 inch netbook? Or anything with 800x480 resolution? It's pretty painful. Now add to that pain, running it from an SD card. It'll be VERY slow. And pretty difficult to actually read/interact with the screen due to the program's desktop nature.
Why not just keep Calibre on the desktop - where its purpose lives, really - and use FBReader on the Nokia? That's what I do with my N800 and it works well.
More power to you for trying to get Calibre to run through Easy Debian, but I really think you'll find it's just not worth it.
R.
