You have two options:

Install calibre from the official Arch Linux ARM repositories, via
Code:
```
pacman -S calibre
```
Install calibre-git from the AUR, since you are on a PI which is not standard i686/x86_64 desktop arches but rather armv7h you will usually have to run
Code:
```
makepkg -si --ignorearch
```
As I do not test the armv7h build myself, I am unwilling to commit to adding that as a supported arch in the PKGBUILD, but using --ignorearch is pretty common for PI users to install AUR packages that probably compile okay on ARM architectures.
