Prism is the software with Windows 11 for ARM that allow x86 and x64 translation. So I see no reason why calibre would not run.

Prism

Prism is the new emulator included with Windows 11 24H2. Compared to previous emulation technology included in Windows, it includes significant optimizations that improve the performance and lower CPU usage of apps under emulation.

Prism is optimized and tuned specifically for Qualcomm Snapdragon processors. Some performance features within Prism require hardware features only available in the Snapdragon X series, but Prism is available for all supported Windows 11 on Arm devices with Windows 11 24H2.
