For Arch, it is preferable to use the AUR package because it use the official binarie,
rather to try to use the extra depot one because it try to rebuild the dependencies of Calibre wich is not recomanded to do so (source of bugs).
(fortunatly, your suggested unoficial AppImage don't make this mistake)
And AUR is up-to-date (~24h)
