And note that CC is primarily meant to organize books according to calibre-style metadata management, and works best when using it as a device-connected-to-calibre.
calibre is meant to be used as the source of everything, on account of ebooks do not do the best job of embedding all the metadata that calibre tracks.
However, per the link, you should be able to match currently-stored books to calibre's database. Hopefully the metadata is good (no PDFs, especially).
Works best with EPUB, as I believe other formats will actually have to be wirelessly sent to calibre for analysis -- it would be faster to resend them.
Resending shouldn't be a problem though. It's just Yet Another AFK.

Unless there is a way to do that, it looks like it won't be useful for the job I bought it to do.

You will be thankful for CC once everything is properly in the database. Regardless of how it gets there. Don't confuse the job with the setup.
