Transferring Books to Kindle Fire without Cable

"then it behaves much like using a USB cable"

Chaley . . . yours is the absolutely golden reply I was hoping for! As far as I can see now, CC only sets up its own 'reading place' on the Fire, a whole new area on your Kindle Fire. You can transfer books from your Calibre Library to your heart's content but you can only read them on the special CC 'page' and can't integrate them with the rest of your books in 'Books.' Which is what I want. I want to duplicate what I was doing so nicely, for two years, using the USB cable.

So I'll go back now and study this further. I'm very, very grateful to hear this advice from you, because I've almost been pulling my hair out . . .
