Not exactly => View by series, author, author_sort, metadata modify on the fly, metadata display in an easy way... Unless I'm very wrong, the best app for series is Mantano (and it doesn't look like at all). Does Calibre Companion work well with books in the device, not in a calibre server, that I don't have nor I intend to? I don't really know it.

I also hear there is a brand new plug-in that connects Calibre with Marvin. It’s good to see iOS is finally catching up with Android in terms of integration with Calibre!

It has been said (in the thread) that it will be compatible with iOS 5, yes. And the plugin exists, really, and IMO, it's better integrates with calibre than android. If you tell me how calibre can recognize my device and send the books directly, I'll be very happy (not surfing around wifi, but with an USB wire, that it's with I like).
