thank you.

I'm coming into this late, but for me it was go to the terminal and paste the following from Calibre's site...
sudo -v && wget -nv -O- https://download.calibre-ebook.com/linux-installer.sh | sudo sh /dev/stdin
(This option
did request a sudo password, that's why I had to put one in — run
sudo passwd)
That installed it. Unfortunately I can't access my USB device from Calibre — so that kind of limits its usefulness. I don't think there's a fix for that yet.
EDIT: You can also install Calibre from the repository with...
sudo apt install calibre
...but that will give you version 3.39.1.
(This option does
not require a password, but you get version 3.39 of Calibre here.)
I've tested both ways. They both work in Crostini without using the Development mode.
