We were confused. Your first post implied that the problem was with the content server.

Is the Wireless connection supposed to display all my ebooks or not?
The wireless device connection is a "push" connection, supporting moving books from calibre to CC. You cannot browse your calibre library from CC while connected as a wireless device.

Virtual libraries is a red herring, introduced because I thought you were having problems with the content server. Apparently you are not.

The sync feature is what appealed to me. I want to see how well that works.
If by "sync" you mean metadata then it works very well. If you mean syncing ebooks themselves then it works reasonably well when paired with Reading List.

To reiterate: the wireless device connection emulates calibre's device interface, which supports "pushing" books from calibre to the device. Calibre is in charge. Something connected as a device is unable to browse calibre's library, "pulling" books to the device. To pull, one uses the content server connection.
