I have tried using the "calibre-6.1.0-x86_64.txz" and the "calibre-6.1.0-arm64.txz" files and manual binary install and I get an error… "/opt/calibre/calibre_postinstall: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected" in both cases…
I tried using the binary install command (even though it mentions intel why not…) and again, fails…
So am I missing something? I can see people have got it to install, but how? Source install?

You will need to click on the
Linux 32-bit binary link in the
calibre 6.1.0 downloads page to download the calibre-6.1.0-arm64.txz file. An error in naming since there is no longer a 32 bit version of calibre. Perhaps the first line could be changed to read calibre x86-64 binary and the second line should read calibre arm64 binary.
After that, the manual install line from the Linux install page should work after editing to give the correct tarball name, etc.
I don't have an ARM64 Linux box to test on but the install.sh script looks as if all the needed ARM64 select code is in place for it to work if all the prerequisites are in place.
