When trying to convert a PDF to EPUB, the following error occurs:

  File "/gnu/store/kz6bgqw9z7akj11zh20wkx14cgq0s3n2-calibre-3.35.0/lib/calibre/calibre/ebooks/pdf/pdftohtml.py", line 76, in pdftohtml
    _('Could not find pdftohtml, check it is in your PATH'))

Move poppler which provides pdftohtml from inputs to propagated-inputs to fix it.

* gnu/packages/ebook.scm (calibre)[inputs]: Move poppler from here ...
[propagated-inputs]: ... to here.
