I think that this is an area that is ripe for some development. An extension of Calibre to allow its viewer (or a separate tool) to emulate various devices would help folks convert their files to epub format and check the results quickly. Especially if you want to convert to multiple epub versions for different devices, this could be very useful for developers, IMHO.
IMHO , there are too many ereaders for the understaffed, under-volunteered Calibre project to even consider trying to provide this level of support, which goes beyond the level of support provided by the manufacturers of those devices.
