OK, I know that this is a borderline case, and due to the device not
really what you are looking for. But, I use my Android phone (HTC
Tattoo) as a very comfortable Ebook reader using FBReader (also
available for the Linux desktop). Epub is natively supported. Latest
version of FBReader plugs in to quite a few on-line Ebook repositories,
so it is possible to download Ebooks directly from within FBReader.

And yes, I use Calibre! ;-) I don't use Calibre all that much (I tend to
manually search for Wbooks anyway), but it's brilliant to create epub
files from downloaded text files, especially those from places like
Project Gutenberg. After that, you simply push it to your phone, or copy
it manually via USB.
Other than Calibre, I only know of Jutoh (commercial app by Anthemion
Software:
http://www.jutoh.com/) as an alternative.
