Yes, select "Mark for complete removal".

That won't upgrade Calibre to 2.4x. After deleting the old package, follow instructions on their site to install the new one: http://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux
Don't use the package manager for doing regular updates either. Just use the built-in LL tool "Install Updates". That will insure only appropriate packages get updated. If you use "Mark All Upgrades" in package manager it may pull in updates for packages that have dependency packages whose updates are not ready yet, thus break functionality. The "Install Updates" tool won't update something until its dependency packages are also ready. (At least that's my understanding of the difference.)
