If you can guide me to a specific issue with the in-Fedora calibre, I will happily log a bugzilla issue for that; but until then I'm unwilling to take on-board the maintenance issue of keeping my apps manually at the latest upstream versions.

A quick glance suggests the problem is that calibre 4 is Python 2 and you are running it with Python 3.8.2 which is not a good idea. calibre is moving to Python3 but it's not there yet.
As for updating? Calibre gives me a notification when a new version is available. At that time I run the shell script where I copied/pasted the download/install code from the calibre Linux download page. Takes a minute and I'm up to date.
I had to rename the script to calibre_install.sh.txt since MobileRead doesn't allow attaching a .sh file.
If you've tried installing the 3.2.9 beta in
message #2106 and it still errors out, you will need to wait for the next release to try again.
OTOH, you can continue with your current setup. Just don't complain when you run into issues trying to run code that has not yet been updated for Python3.
