No. The Calibre ebook viewer is not intended to act as a simulator for any device. It will render ebooks as it sees fit, with no regard to device specifics.
About the first point: I am running ePub --> ePub multiple times, to get the eBook the way I like it. I guess Calibre doesn't know conversion has been run before, but it would be nice to not have the extra code appended multiple times. Perhaps a toggle switch here would be nice, eg update versus add.

As for the second, I understand why one would want to have Calibre be device independent, but it makes it hard to convert books to look nice on a particular device if you can't see how it will be interpreted. It might be nice to have a preference for Calibre that calls an external reader (eg Reader Library or Kobo software or whatever) for viewing so that you can see how it will look on your particular device.

Cheers,

Nike
