I presume you are talking about the second example, not the first one.
The first one won't work because it opens the wrong file on Maemo.

The second one should work, it would be useful to pass a GError** to
e_book_new_system_addressbook (the NULL argument is an error pointer) to
find out what the failure is.  I'm guessing you are running it in a
terminal and not using run-standalone.sh:

$ run-standalone.sh ./ebooktest
