calibre already runs on ARM, it just needs to be compiled for ARM. The code is python and runs on any python interpreter (assuming all dependencies are satisfied).
The problem is as chaley said, you need more than the kernel and Java virtual machine.
Usually Kovid bundles all dependencies, but it would require serious effort to rewrite calibre to display in a Java-based app.
I believe there are a few implementations of Python for Android, which could be used as the bundled version, but it would require a rewrite to use that instead, and have different ways of doing some things like graphics, from what I've heard... and it's a total mess and not really worth getting into, basically.
