https://calibre-ebook.com is https and has a valid certificate. wtf are you on about?
and user login requirements - other than the server (where it
does exist), why is that needed?
also, see this:

Book HTML is displayed inside a sanboxed by the browser iframe which is
itself run inside a sandboxed by the OS chromium process. I made a whole
lot of design decisions that greatly complicated the viewer code for the
sake of security. Barring bugs scripts in books have no access to
anything on your system.
There are no known security issues in the calibre viewer that are not
also present in chromium itself. In other words, reading books is at
least as safe as browsing the internet (slightly safer because of the
sandboxed iframe).
