A third-party companion app

There is an app called Calibre Companion that allows you to access your Calibre library on your iPhone or iPad.

This app is available for purchase on the App Store and it works by connecting to Calibre on your computer over Wi-Fi. Once you have set up the connection, you can browse and download your e-books from your Calibre library to your iPhone or iPad, and read them using the built-in e-book reader or any other compatible e-book reader app on your device.
