It's been running for 2513 minutes now. What's your advice?
Personally, I would shut down calibre then start over by factory-resetting the device. There is enough strange and inexplicable stuff going on that I have no confidence that the device is in good shape. Then try the cabled connection, since that is what you are used to. If that works, well and good. If it doesn't then (perhaps reset again and) try CC.

If you go this route, be sure that you have off-device copies of everything on the device that you care about. Also be sure that you have usernames and passwords for all the "accounts" used on the device.
