Bug#909057: RFS: calibre/3.31.0+dfsg-1~bpo9+1

[Nicholas D Steeves <nsteeves@gmail.com>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Hi Chris, and dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my update to the "calibre"
stretch-backport.  It is a no-change backport, and I confirmed that it
works perfectly well with my Kobo.  This update is justified because
epub to mobi conversion was broken for a time; as I do not own a
Kindle I am not able to confirm for what versions this functionality
was broken.  Don't forget to build with -v3.26.0+dfsg-1~bpo9+1

Package name    : calibre
Version         : 3.31.0+dfsg-1~bpo9+1
