The only difference I saw between the Calibre viewer and the iPad's iBooks app is Calibre's inability to display the aside footnote pop-ups as beautifully as the iPad does, it basically renders them as regular links.
I even one day tried to find a javascript solution for other devices to show asides like the iPad does but then I remembered they will have to support Javascript so I dropped it :P
The pretty-infamous centering glitch? The one where if you don't wrap content in interior spans, in addition to centering them doesn't work? iBooks has had a glitch, certainly still in existence on 1st-gen iPads, that doesn't recognize the text-align property in CSS. It only works if you enclose a second element within the p class (or image class, etc.) that has the text-align property.

n.b.: this glitchyness also seems to affect K4iOS, FWIW.

ETA: Here's a link from Liz's blog about some of it (it's not just iBooks, either, although I don't know if it's been cleared up across all readers: http://www.pigsgourdsandwikis.com/20...-ereaders.html )
