CC only acts as a library for the books, it will try to open them in another reader app. Popular ones are Mantano and Moon+ Reader.
You can transfer books anywhere your laptop is, by creating an ad-hoc network and connecting your tablet to it. See:

No need for a router or USB dongle, as long as your computer has a wireless card, and all laptops do.
