Use calibre-git from the AUR, which I maintain.
The problem is that calibre uses cherrypy for the server, and cherrypy upstream has a bug when trying to log in on mobile browsers. The bug was reported years ago but the cherrypy developers never fixed it, so Kovid ships a patched version of cherrypy with calibre... which Arch Linux strips out (see
FS#43382), on the grounds that vendored dependencies are bad. Never mind that in this specific case it is actually good.
My AUR package does not strip out the /usr/lib/calibre/cherrypy directory. Although actually, the calibre v3 beta is in git master so the calibre-git package builds that instead, and cherrypy isn't used at all...
The beta version of calibre-server is quite nice, especially on mobile devices.
You might want to try it regardless.
