In my testing the Flatpack version of calibre works very well, if you are not comfortable with manually updating calibre then use the Flatpack version--the maintainers usually update several days after the binaries are released.

One program that I have found works better in Flatpack is Kodi.

The reason calibre repositories do not work most times is no one maintains them. The Arch AUR works because it is updated when calibre is updated.

99% was a guess. But more then 1/2 of the issues are because of repositories. That's not a guess.

Do you use Kodi to watch TV shows/movies you should not be watching?

But if Calibre is not updated, there probably are a lot of programs that are not updated. Also, if you don't check the Calibre site, you don't know that the version there is not the current version. To me it just seems a hassle.

I have never had a problem with the Windows store like there is with Linux repositories. Windows Store works better.
