I've actually done it many times, and am doing it now to make sure it still works. Calibre recognizes my device is connected within a very few seconds. It then automatically syncs, and to the correct folder. If I eject the device (the calibre function, not windows although that may work equally well) and check the correct device directories, the content is there. The issue though, is CC doesn't recognize that they are there, which I can easily correct by doing a sync (yes, wifi...) So a solution for the original poster is to see if the reader they installed (I use FB Reader, based on suggestions from this forum a long time ago) can open the books from the directory on the device. I navigate to that and can view the contents using an app called ES File Explorer, and can open them to read in FB Reader.
Note that my laptop environment is Windows 7, and my device environment is Android 5.1.1 (although I know this has worked on all earlier versions that I've used.)
