Probably not. Here, Programs and Features announces 400MB for Calibre. WinDirStat says that the C:\Program Files part of Calibre weights juuuust under 200MB (mostly the Qt and Python frameworks).

I have no idea where the remaining 200MB are. There's nothing Calibre-related in C:\ProgramData; %appdata%\calibre is only 12MB, and my library is well over the GB mark. I guess it could be %userprofile%\appdata\local\calibre-cache, which is a little less than 200MB. So P&F could calculate an application's footprint by adding the binary folder and any user data. Although renaming calibre-cache didn't change the total (I didn't restart), so, who knows.
