Like use them with Calibre OS as the platform for your e-reading. Maybe with Calibre OS pre-installed.
I don't think there will ever be a calibre OS for mobile devices, unless someone else creates and maintains it. Kovid has said he's not interested in doing it.

There is KOReader, though. And yes, it's also overkill for many people, but it's still very popular.
