It would be nice if my Vortexbox can also work as a ebook server. For example, to includ the popular ebook management software calibre.

No. calibre is an Xwindows GUI application. VortexBox does not have an Xwindows desktop.

Calibre appears to be adesktop app. 

Although there is a web server component, it needs to be configurd with the desktop GUI.   

If you have installed a GUI on your vortexbox, the it should be as easy as 

yum clean all

yum update

yum install calibre


There is an active fedora build.
