can i use just a USB cord to transfer books (using the calibre companion for android based tablet) without having to use WiFi? I ask because I want to be able to transfer books when I am not in a WiFi area.
They are separate (and unfortunately isolated). You can send books via USB, CC just wont know about those, but you can use your reading app to access those.

You are using a Laptop (with WiFi)? All you need to do is change a setting to allow Peer connections (the standard and safer is Infrastructure: AKA Access Point/WiFi router). Remember to disable Peer level connections when not actually in use.

At one time, I believe someone asked about using a Blutooth PAN. I forget the resolution.
