With the iOS devices then the best Calibre integration is with iBooks. This avoids the need for any drag-and-drop steps. You can also use this in conjunction with the Reading List plugin to mark books for later syncing to the iOS device via iTunes.

If you want to use a different app then you do not have anyway near the same level of integration. If you use the Kindle app then you have the capability to transfer it from Calibre via Amazon (just like real Kindle devices) or the drag-and-drop method mentioned previously.

Another possibility on iOS devices is to work in 'Pull' mode. This is using the Calibre (or an equivalent) Content server and browse it via Safari or an app such as the free eBook Search until you see a book you want. At that point you can download the book and transfer it into your reading app of choice. This method of working is not limited to iBooks - it works with most iOS reader apps I have come across.
