An alternative is to create a temp storage folder somewhere convenient (e.g. "New Books" on the Desktop) and use Calibre's "Save to Disk" function to copy out the books; they'll have the updates this way just like when Calibre sends files directly to a device. You can then copy the files from the temp storage folder to your device manually any time you wish.
I use this with my Kindle. I don't use Calibre to manage my library. My books are stored in two folders. One is all my books and is on an external HD; the other is the books "waiting to be read (again)" and is my Kindle's "Documents" folder. I use the Save to Disk function to save off the converted or "fixed" files and then clear out Calibre's library. I then copy the new files in the temp storage folder into my complete archive and into my Kindle.
