Can I simply upgrade overtop the old repository version, specifying the install location /usr/lib/calibre of course, or do I have to install a fresh copy?

Are there any other issues I should be aware of before I do the upgrade?
You can, but I recommend removing the repository version after backing up your library and the .config/calibre folder(just to be safe) then install using the binary installer
