Offering it as a separate app removes these constraints, but adds the complexity of two aps.

This is somewhat more work for you, but perhaps you can do it as a separate app that completely is controlled via IPC from CC. If a person tried to run it standalone it would just popup a message saying that it can't be run that way.
Another advantage of this is that you could leverage some of the searching/sorting capabilities of CC to add more functionality at little cost. So, for example, if you are grouping by a specific author in CC you could have a menu item to show all the other books by that author that are stored in the cloud (or even better all the books by that author that are not already part of the CC database). Executing that function would send a message (or however android handles IPC) to the the new app to actually get the list of matching books, which could then be shown in CC. And so on....
