I think you can imagine the response here is likely to be just adding ipv6 to the required use for Python. Otherwise, this will need work upstream or at least in Gentoo to adapt the zeroconf package.

Yeah, I imagine that fighting for the right to disable IPv6 could prove to be a difficult battle in this day an age.
Sure, requiring an ipv6 enabled system to _install_ an ebook management program seems legit... Upstream bug in python-zeroconf: https://github.com/jstasiak/python-zeroconf/issues/234
Patch was commited upstream, so >dev-python/zeroconf-0.30.0 should no longer require ipv6.
app-text/calibre and dev-python/zeroconf work together with dev-lang/python[-ipv6]. Requirement for ipv6 enabled python can be removed from calibre.
