I can reproduce this on my system too.

It's strange, I can't reproduce it and i know one of the Devs can't, either. This has to be some setting or missing dep or something.

Chipping in here: I could reproduce the same issue, and I *cough* believe jelle experienced the same issue after upgrading to python2-pyqt5-5.6-1.

Rebuilding Calibre solved the issue; could it be related to the python2 bytecode compilation as part of the build process?

indeed! I rebuilt from ABS, and it works!
Repo version still doesn't work. The broken repo version that I have has this hash:

$ md5sum /var/cache/pacman/pkg/calibre-2.57.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
5f76205c2188792fa5eb1f42e05c9a7f /var/cache/pacman/pkg/calibre-2.57.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz


By the way, we're talking about calibre-2.57.1-1, right? Just to be clear and sorry for not specifying in the initial report.
