I've done some more work on this.  The most significant one being the
addition of a backend/database interface that uses the calibredb
executable instead of parsing the SQLite database directly.  Combined
with compat this should lower the minimum required Emacs version to 27.
Are there any other things that would block calibre.el's inclusion in
GNU ELPA?
