Origin of repo:
First recorded in 1960–65: rep(urchase) + -o

Though this might be better moved to a different forum. Does MobileRead have an etymology forum?

We should have such a sub-forum if there isn't one.
But why do you want to discuss insects and plant relationships?

Repo is short for reprocess. Hence the term Repo man.

Hmmm... an entomology forum could be dedicated to discussing bugs in our favourite programs and OS. The etymology forum could be devoted to discussions about the words we are (mis-)using—flame-proof clothing recommended.

If we read the history of Calibre we will see that it was created for linux.
https://calibre-ebook.com/about#history
calibre started life on 31 October, 2006, soon after the release of the SONY PRS-500, the first e-ink based reader to be sold commercially in the US. At the time, I was a graduate student, with a lot of time on my hands. The PRS-500 did not work at all with Linux, my operating system of choice, so I decided to reverse engineer the USB protocol that it used, to get it working on Linux. This was accomplished with the help of the fine folks over at mobileread.com and calibre was born, albeit named libprs500.
