I don't think you can connect a tablet via ethernet cable, but there are ways of sharing a cabled network if your PC has a Network card (and all laptops do).
On the other hand, calibre can send them via USB. And once the book is on, WiFi is no longer needed of course.
PRC stands for Palm Resource Container, IIRC, and uses the same Palm database format as MOBI -- in fact, the extension was changed to MOBI but they are otherwise identical.
Mobipocket books have yet another file extension as well, just to confuse things more
: AZW, for MOBIs that came from Amazon's servers.
