Thanks in advance!

Calibre 4 should run fine on Raspbian. I'm running it on Ubuntu 16.04 just fine, which is based on a far older version of Debian than current Raspbian releases are.

You just need to install the current version from the calibre site, not the one packaged with the distro. https://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux
