How do I start calibre from the bash console?

nicholas@mordor:~$ 
nicholas@mordor:~$ com.calibre_ebook.calibre
com.calibre_ebook.calibre: command not found
nicholas@mordor:~$ 
nicholas@mordor:~$ calibre

Command 'calibre' not found, but can be installed with:

sudo apt install calibre

nicholas@mordor:~$ 
nicholas@mordor:~$ flatpak list

You can run any installed flatpak using flatpak run, by providing the flatpak REF.

flatpak run com.calibre_ebook.calibre

More information is available with flatpak run --help or man flatpak-run
