So I read on. And get to type "... install Calibre" in the Terminal. And it calibre was installed.... but the version is 2.55. I want 3.x
Could you please point me where to go from here? |
Installation instructions are here:

But you'll need to set up all of calibre's dependencies as well. This is trivial on Arch Linux ARM, which provides the latest version anyway but also provides calibre-git for building from source.
I don't know how to do that on Raspbian. I do know that you're basically doomed to old things though.

This should install the latest version. Otherwise you need to pick a distribution that has a binary package, which if they exist at all are usually outdated and often problematic. I wouldn't recommend building from source if you can avoid it. I'd go with installing arch and using the aur build.

These days I also maintain the stable calibre release in the community repos, which ARM imports directly.
Anyway, either one should work.
