thanks for the link. After installing gvfs my evince is now also
remembering the last page.
And I also saw that it was not working in a firejailed calibre.
I figured out that the following lines added to
/etc/firejail/calibre.local will allow evince started from firejailed
calibre to remember the page:
> noblacklist ${HOME}/.local/share/gvfs-metadata

You can try adding it to your calibre.local as well.
I'm not sure if this should get submitted upstream, as not every
calibre user is using evince as a PDF viewer, or wants to grant it
access to gvfs (which can also contain sensitive data of other
applications).
Kind regards,
Reiner
