Phone is not a convenient device to read from in itself.

In that case, care to explain why has 99% pirated content out there been de-DRMed and converted from Adobe/Amazon formats to EPUB with that particular software? Is it just coincidence?
You can buy a gun for legal purposes such as home security, hunting, or target shooting. That doesn't mean that guns can't be used for illegal purposes. i.e. armed robbery and murder. The same applies to Calibre. Though I don't know where you get your percentages. There has to be more than just Calibre being misused by people.
