Then let's have a special version of Calibre light for Android.
It mainly needs to be able to import ebooks and perform conversions with "essential" plugins. These are the functions that would be most useful on a portable platform like Android. Useful if someone is travelling with only their tablet, for example.
The full slate of features would still be available, if needed, of course, on the original computer-based version.

It seems clear to me that there's a demand for this and it would be very useful for many people. I have no idea how technically feasible it is - but I'm sure Kovid has thought about it at some point. Hopefully he'll see this thread and weigh-in on this.
