This would certainly be a workable solution for me. Perhaps a first step towards this would be to have CC change the way it stores the books to be the way Calibre does it on the computer (this would include the directory structure as well as the opf and cover files). Then the next step might be to scan for new files when requested and add them to your internal database. A last step might be to read the metadata.db file directory, But I am not convinced you ever need to do that.
You could then (if you wanted to) write an external program to grab the files from the cloud, but I am not convinced you would need to since programs like dropsync could do that for you. Some people would work that way, and others would just continue to do the wireless syncs.
