Once again: calibre does not set itself as the default handler for
any file type, on
any operating system. I absolutely detest programs that do that.
On linux calibre uses the freedesktop.org recommend tools, xdg-mime and xdg-desktop-menu to tell your desktop of the mimetypes it is
capable of handling. If your desktop environment chooses to then make it the default, over your objections, then your desktop environment's implementation of xdg-mime and xdg-desktop-menu is broken, and you should open a bug report with your distro maintainers.
If you don't believe me, feel free to examine the calibre source code, the relevant portion is the function setup_desktop_integration() in src/calibre/linux.py.
