I really don't want to manage my library via a small touchscreen and virtual keyboard (I have enough problems replying to email on the iPad mini). The ereader is for offline reading - when I am away from home, I have zero connectivity unless I am connected to a WiFi hotspot. (No, I do not have a smartphone - just an old PAYG phone with no data plan primarily used for making calls).
Hence my requirement for metadata created via Calibre to be visible in the reader. Although my Calibre library resides in iCloud, my primary source for the content will be the onboard memory with a 32 Gb SD card as back-up. The ereader is going to be used off-line.
Hope this clarifies my requirements!

That sounds like what you get using the KOReader's "Calibre wireless connection", it adds KOReader on your device as a wireless device in calibre. You can then send selected books to your KOReader running device from within calibre. (This assumes KOReader is working on your Android device, it is not on them all yet.) It works fine on my Kobo AuraHD.
