Everything you say is true and it would be neat to have Calibre on my tablet, but until then...

... I'll keep my entire library on my tablet and use CC to navigate it.

... If I find a RSS feed I'll add it to Feedly to read on my tablet and any new book that I must read, I'll purchase through Amazon or Google Play so I can read it immediately.

It may be possible but Kovid develops using a set of tools that spans 3 Operating Systems, if the environment is ever expanded to include Android there might be a chance, but there are no plans to do this on the horizon.
As BetterRed suggests a
WINE for Android app might happen allowing you to run calibre on Android.
