Simply connecting calibre to your device via CC automatically syncs the metadata (including covers, tags, custom columns) to your tablet. And to ensure my tablet stays current I eject using the Smart eject plugin. This plugin will let me know what books are in calibre that are not on my device and allow me to send the books prior to ejecting the device.

It is a nice app. I don't use it because I have 20% of my library still waiting for me to fine tune the covers, metadata etc... I don't see these books using CC but calibre cloud doesn't allow limiting to a virtual library so I end up with a bunch of unpolished books showing up. Still it is a nice app with a fast search.
