Note that even without the book files metadata updates will still happen on connect, so the info for books in the "catalog" will be up-to-date as of the last connect to calibre.

Hi,
is there a way to drop my library on the nexus, already minus books (I have it ready on a USB key) instead of synching wirelessly and removing the book files afterwards?
I've discovered I can just take metadata.db from my PC's calibre library, drop it on the nexus and have the 'leger calibre' app find it, which then lets me search on the go by author, title, series and tags, which is already a huge improvement on my previous situation. But having played with CC, and grabbed a couple of books from the content server, CC's abilities look pretty neat - notably I get thumbs, and which number in a series the book is.
I could do the wireless synch and delete the book files afterwards, but I thought I'd check first, as manually deleting them on the nexus might prove to be more of a pain than a recursive find-and-delete on eBook file types beforehand.
Thanks so much for everyone's help with this so far, hopefully I won't be the only person this sort of thing is of use to :-)
