I found that what ever works on Calibre works on the iPad and vice versa.
No disrespect to Kovid, but I don't use the Calibre viewer as an indicator of ANY reader out there; it's simply not a good predictor. Does Calibre reflect that centering glitch with iBooks, odedta?

Kindle previewer gives you an extremely accurate indicator of how your book will look on the listed devices. ADE is a good predictor of how a book will look on Nook, but so is Nook for PC (the latter obviously is better). If you're a mac user, there's an iBooks-reader app now. Sony Reader for PC is accurate for Sony, insofar as I've found.

At last count, we had over a dozen devices here, not counting various smartphones for testing those reading apps, plus a few tablets. I don't think if you're making the book for yourself, you need go quite that nuts, but if you look to do any real bookmaking, for clients, whatever, you'll need to start investing in devices.

That's my $.02.
