Install cask that extends the brew command :

brew install phinze/cask/brew-cask

Install calibre using cask :

brew cask install calibre

Setup $PATH for calibre (add ebook-convert and other commands to $PATH) :

export PATH="~/Applications/calibre.app/Contents/MacOS/:$PATH"

Or add it to your shell's .profile with :

echo 'export PATH=~/Applications/calibre.app/Contents/MacOS/:$PATH' >> ~/.profile

Now ebook-convert should be available :)

On OS X, (if you had install calibre,) the command line tools are inside the calibre bundle, for example, if you installed calibre in /Applications the command line tools are in /Applications/calibre.app/Contents/console.app/Contents/MacOS/. link

So you can use

export PATH="/Applications/calibre.app/Contents/console.app/Contents/MacOS/:$PATH"
