Use the website
https://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux

This in a console always installs the current version on top of old.
sudo -v && wget -nv -O- https://download.calibre-ebook.com/linux-installer.sh | sudo sh /dev/stdin

Don't use Flatpak or any other distro version

Edit: I only use Flatpak or appimage if that is absolutely the only version. Mostly I use deb packages, except for programs where the deb doesn't exist or is too outdated or too updated or known to be "wrong".

Calibre, Viber, Brother drivers, Victron management, maybe Steam (I forget) all need website downloads.
