First, try launching it as such:
```
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb calibre
```
If the viewer works fine there, proceed with the following -
Run the following to get the full path to the executable. That is /usr/bin/calibre on my system.
```
command -v calibre
```
Then create /usr/local/bin/calibre with the following content:
```
#!/bin/bash
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb /usr/bin/calibre "$@"
```
And give it execute permission
```
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/calibre
```
That should be all you need to hijack the executable and force XWayland and have Calibre work correctly again, make sure to remove it when hell freezes over.

The workaround works perfectly!
Thank you very much.
PS : For the people being emotional on Wayland vs X11. Your comments are a waste of time. What we want is Calibre working correctly under Wayland nothing more, nothing less.
