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.
Calibre is open source; if you think there's a demand for something, the way to make something happen is for you to do it, or organise a project for others to do it if you don't have the skills yourself. Sitting there and waiting for someone else to do it for you is unlikely to achieve anything.
