Instead of giving the usual download button, they give you an option to copy and paste a line of text depending on whether you want 'Binary' or 'Source'. It would be helpful to know what the difference is as I haven't a clue; it's not helpful for non-techie users of Linux.
It really can't be easier.

On Calibre's Linux install/download page it states up front:

Please do not use your distribution provided calibre package, as those are often buggy/outdated. Instead use the Binary install described below.
