What you said it sounds like you're summoning the Calibre file brand new from the terminal. Is this the case?
I was thinking I would do the binary install in the terminal and then the Calibre (and hopefully Calibre-Edit) would be in my Applications menu.

I open a Blank Txt file
I past the Calibre comand line into it
I save as getCalibre.sh
I right click on the file: Properties: permissions: tick 'Allow to execute..'
Now when I double click the Icon, I get asked if I want to run in a Terminal (click Yes)
(this is just a local copy so you don't have to always open the web page
BTW the permissions bit is just a GUI way of adding the x bit instead of using chmod
