Someone else has reported that there is a build of Calibre in the Raspbian repositories that can be installed via apt-get. I have not tried this myself to see if the install succeeds and if it does how it runs.
But as far, as I can see, there is a source install possibility and I wanted to know, if someone has tried it with raspberry Pi

"Source install
WARNING: calibre is a highly complex piece of software with lots of very finicky dependencies. If you install from source, you are on your own. Please do not open bug reports or expect any form of support. You have been warned.

If you're still determined to install from source, read on:

Make sure your system has python ≥ 2.7.1 not 3.x
Install the various dependencies listed below
Run the following commands in a terminal:

curl -L http://status.calibre-ebook.com/dist/src | tar xvJ
cd calibre*
sudo python setup.py install

Note that if your distribution does not have a correctly compiled libunrar.so, calibre will hang with cbr/rar files.
