I am sorry if you took this as laughing at you. I was laughing at the thought of considering Tolino as an "plucky outsider" even before the hardware end moved to Kobo.
As for calibre on an ereader? You might be able to create a cutdown version of calibre's ebook-viewer to run on a mobile eInk device though it would likely be much easier to base your development on KOReader or Plato since they both support eInk devices.
As for the OS for the mobile device? Kobo does make their Linux code available though there is a considerable amount of proprietary code (nickel, sickel, pickel, etc.) that is the portion that does much of the heavy lifting in managing the books plus the RMSDK and Readium code that renders the ePub.
