With 10.8 Mountain Lion, in System Preferences / Security & Privacy there are still options to "allow applications downloaded from":
O Mac App Store
O Mac App Store and identified developers (that's identified by Apple)
O Anywhere (any app regardless where it came from)

When selecting the last option, OS X pops up a message that it is less secure, instead you can "allow an individual application from an unknown developer by control-clicking its icon and selecting Open," but lets the choice stand if desired.

Don't know how long the last option will be there…

If I recall correctly calibre opened fine for me without that option set.

I also experienced calibre 0.8.61 having problems reopening automatically after a system restart. Otherwise everything seems fine. Connect to iTunes works for me too.
